var client := http.Client
For whatever reason this code is giving the error message missing variable or initialization. Can someone enlighten me on why? I'm not understanding what I have done wrong.

try `var client = http.Client`. `client := http.Client` is equivalent to `var client = http.Client`. Your usage is invalid syntactically. – Burak Serdar Jul 27 '22 at 22:05

Yeah, that didn't work. It just populated 4 new errors – grandmasternik Jul 27 '22 at 22:13

Since you're creating an `http.Client` you need the `{}` at the end since you're making a struct. See my answer. – Rawley Fowler Jul 27 '22 at 22:14

`var client http.Client` or `client := http.Client{}` or `var client = http.Client{}` – Charlie Tumahai Jul 27 '22 at 22:15

In Go we use := or var = for initializing variables. In your case you can re-write it to be:
var client = http.Client{}
or
client := http.Client{}
Either of these will trigger type inference of the variable. You can use var with a type to explicitly declare a type as well. In your case if you wanted to enforce the type you could write:
var client http.Client = http.Client{}

Thanks. This worked for the most part but showed some about four new errors elsewhere. I'ma scrap everything and start from scratch again but keeping the var client http.Client – grandmasternik Jul 27 '22 at 22:30
