How to redirect my request?

[OhhhThatVarun]

So, I want to redirect my request to some other service. But the function redirect requires access to ResponseWriter and *Request. I'm not getting where to put the redirect. Any help would be appreciated.

@peterbourgon in my application, i have a IAM service which is responsible for performing authentication. for that i need ability to redirect the request to IAM service's authn endpoint to get authentication done. but as ResponseWriter is not available i am unable to redirect request using https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.17.7:src/net/http/server.go;l=2107

If you want to do it on a "encoder", what I normally use is

	w.Header().Set("Location", "/redirected-location")
	w.WriteHeader(http.StatusSeeOther)
