Error when fetching URL through proxy in Go

Question

This is related to this other question. I'm fetching a URL through a proxy using this simple code:

package main import ( "fmt" "io/ioutil" "net/http" "net/url" ) func main() { proxyUrl, err := url.Parse("87.236.233.92:8080") httpClient := &http.Client { Transport: &http.Transport { Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyUrl) } } response, err := httpClient.Get("http://stackoverflow.com") if err != nil { fmt.Println(err.Error()) } else { body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body) fmt.Println("OK: ", len(body)) } }

If I run this code, I am getting this error:

Get http://stackoverflow.com: http: error connecting to proxy 87.236.233.92:8080: GetServByName: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.

I know that the proxy address is valid and if I fetch the URL through the proxy by other means it work. Any idea why I'm getting this error?

Specify your proxy with http:// in and it should work, eg

proxyUrl, err := url.Parse("http://87.236.233.92:8080") if err != nil { fmt.Println("Bad proxy URL", err) return }
