Access HTTP response as string in Go

by

I’d like to parse the response of a web request, but I’m getting trouble accessing it as string. 

func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get("http://google.hu/")
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)

    ioutil.WriteFile("dump", body, 0600)

    for i:= 0; i < len(body); i++ {
        fmt.Println( body[i] ) // This logs uint8 and prints numbers
    }

    fmt.Println( reflect.TypeOf(body) )
    fmt.Println("done")
}

How can I access the response as string? ioutil.WriteFile writes correctly the response to a file.

I’ve already checked the package reference but it’s not really helpful.
