how to set different value for host in http header with host in url in golang

Question

I can use curl to send my request successfully, but golang seems impossible to do.

curl -H 'Host: aaa.com' 'http://bbb.com'

My question is: how I can send request with host which is different with host in url?

Set Request.Host to change the host header sent to the server.

req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://bbb.com/", nil)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
req.Host = "aaa.com"

Cheers. It's confusing though why setting Host header does not suffice here.

@YanFoto The net/http package uses the Request.Host field to represent the Host header instead of the "Host" member of Request.Header. This special treatment of the header is a bit confusing, but that's the way it works.
