Default severity: warning

Reports hardcoded standard methods passed to http.NewRequest and http.NewRequestWithContext. Use constants such as http.MethodGet to make protocol intent explicit.

Bad

request, err := http.NewRequest("GET", endpoint, nil)

Good

request, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, endpoint, nil)
