Memory leak in Go http standard library?

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts is the best place to ask Go related questions, not HN.

    I would argue that a serious memory leak in one of the core functions of such a popular and trending language is news worthy.

      It's highly unlikely that there is a memory leak.

        I've been running the code he posted with ApacheBench and I'm not seeing any issues.

  Stack Overflow questions with interesting answers are good bets for HN, but Stack Overflow questions about individual bugs with no answers aren't; they seem more like attempts to game Stack Overflow, and, at the very least, crud up HN. I actually flagged this.

    I didn't think it would be interpreted that way. My bad. It seems like it's not a leak in the http library, just allocating memory and not releasing it sooner than expected.

  Go provides very adequate profiling tools for debugging this type of problem. http://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs http://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs FWIW, I did `ab -n 1million -c 100` with your program on Windows/amd64 and memory grew from from 3.4MB to 3.9MB.
