[go-nuts] if i catch resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK and return early from my function, do i still have to close resp.Body??

[evan]

in the code snippet below which is inside a function, is "defer 
resp.Body.Close() " in the appropriate position?
am i required to always do a  resp.Body.Close()?
...
        resp, err := client.Do(req)

log.Printf("resp: %+v\n", resp)
if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
return errors.NewHTTPError(resp.StatusCode)
}
        ....
defer resp.Body.Close()
