I speak with many MSPs online, in demos, at events, over email, and chat. They must cover multiple areas of knowledge. Maintaining specialist knowledge in each area is a constant battle. But when MSPs search for answers, they're often met with a sea of information from others trying to make sense of things too. True expertise can get lost amongst the speculations and partial confusions. Microsoft 365, being ubiquitous, adds to their challenges.

Securing HTTP requests is crucial when developing Go applications to prevent vulnerabilities like Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). SSRF occurs when an attacker manipulates a server to make unintended requests, potentially accessing internal services or sensitive data. We will explore how to secure HTTP requests by employing URL parsing and validation techniques, and provide example code to fortify the http.Get HTTP GET request handler.
