How do I use http.Client with timeouts and retries?

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

// createClient creates an http.Client with timeout settings
func createClient(timeout time.Duration) *http.Client {
    return &http.Client{
        Timeout: timeout,
    }
}

// makeRequest tries to make an HTTP GET request with retries
func makeRequest(client *http.Client, url string, retries int) (*http.Response, error) {
    var resp *http.Response
    var err error

    for i := 0; i < retries; i++ {
        resp, err = client.Get(url)
        if err == nil {
            return resp, nil
        }
        fmt.Printf("Attempt %d failed: %v\n", i+1, err)
        time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) // wait before retrying
    }

    return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed after %d attempts: %w", retries, err)
}

func main() {
    client := createClient(5 * time.Second) // 5 seconds timeout
    url := "https://example.com"
    retries := 3

    resp, err := makeRequest(client, url, retries)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error making request: %v\n", err)
        return
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    fmt.Printf("Response status: %s\n", resp.Status)
}
