Sample response

You can read the body of an http.Request into a string in Go by using the ioutil.ReadAll method to read the body, and then converting the byte slice to a string. Here's a basic example:

import (
    "io/ioutil"
    "net/http"
)

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
    }
    bodyString := string(body)
    // Use bodyString as needed
}

Remember to handle any errors that may occur and to close the request body if necessary.
