What did you expect to see?

It seems to me that when using ReverseProxy.ErrorHandler (from package httputil) a nice pattern would be to introspect the error, do special processing on or ignore certain types of errors, but then fall back to the default error handling.

Therefore, I would like to export this function so I don't have to reimplement it (and reimplement logf):

func (p *ReverseProxy) defaultErrorHandler(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request, err error) {
	p.logf("http: proxy error: %v", err)
	rw.WriteHeader(http.StatusBadGateway)
}

An added bonus is also that you then receive updates to this logic as Go versions progress, whereas the copied-over code would get stale.

My current workaround is to turn the method into a function with the ReverseProxy as first argument to be able to define it locally:

// Adapted from https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.11.4/src/net/http/httputil/reverseproxy.go
func logf(p *httputil.ReverseProxy, format string, args ...interface{}) {
	if p.ErrorLog != nil {
		p.ErrorLog.Printf(format, args...)
	} else {
		log.Printf(format, args...)
	}
}

// Adapted from https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.11.4/src/net/http/httputil/reverseproxy.go
func defaultErrorHandler(p *httputil.ReverseProxy) func(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request, err error) {
	return func(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request, err error) {
		logf(p, "http: proxy error: %v", err)
		rw.WriteHeader(http.StatusBadGateway)
	}
}
