title: Should I avoid using net/http/httptest in production code?
body: <p>I like the ability to present a buffered <code>net/http.ResponseWriter</code> as a <code>net/http.Response</code> in some situations which <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httptest/#ResponseRecorder" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>net/http/httptest.ResponseRecorder</code></a> would give me, but the package name makes me a bit concerned about using it in production code. I understand that it’s intended to be used <strong>primarily</strong> for testing, but am unsure if I am asking for trouble using it in production code.</p>
  
  <p>Am I tempting fate?</p>
