GoLang Mocking CSV Rest Response

Question

I am trying to unit test an API which returns a CSV response. I am used to testing APIs that return Json response by doing something like this :

resBody := `{"access_token": "token","instance_url": "url","id": "id","token_type": "Bearer"}`
r := ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader([]byte(resBody)))

clientMock.GetMock = func(url string) (*http.Response, error) {
        return &http.Response{
            StatusCode: 200,
            Body:       r,
        }, nil
    }

Here, the resBody is my mocked Json response, however unable to figure out what would be an equivalent response structure for testing APIs that return csv response.

Never mind, able to figure it out now. Below can be used to mock CSV response :

resBody := `"access_token","instance_url","id","token_type"` + "\n" + `"token","url","id","Bearer"`
r := ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewReader([]byte(resBody)))

clientMock.GetMock = func(url string) (*http.Response, error) {
        return &http.Response{
            StatusCode: 200,
            Body:       r,
        }, nil
    }
