I've modified the function accordingly: func sock() { conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "192.168.0.1:9991") if err != nil { fmt.Printf("\nDial has an error for you %v", err) }
fmt.Fprintf(conn, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") status, err := bufio.NewReader(conn).ReadString('\n') fmt.Printf("%v",status) } Nevertheless same issue appearing: Dial has an error for you: dial tcp 192.168.0.1:9991: getsockopt: connection refusedpanic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x20 pc=0x4612dc] "Connection refused" is simple socket state, how can it call a panic?
