go - Golang Import (undefined: Request) -

i'm trying create custom function passes request object result:

 func constructrequest(testparameters string, reqtype string) request {     req, err := http.newrequest(reqtype, testpath+testparameters, nil)      if err != nil {         log.fatal(err)         return nil     } else {         return req     } } 

but i'm getting "undefined: request" error

i'm not sure library need import make work?

undefined: request seems normal if don't specify package returned type:

func constructrequest(testparameters string, reqtype string) http.request                                                              ^^^^ 

since http.newrequest() returns pointer, should be:

func constructrequest(testparameters string, reqtype string) *http.request
