gomobile http request crashes app

[bramvbilsen]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.15.8 windows/amd64

What did you do?

I am trying to send some data to a webserver before the app starts. I am using the basic example app template included in gomobile. I added the following code at the start of main:

client := &http.Client{}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "X.X.X.X:8000/log", strings.NewReader("TEST"))
client.Do(req)

I inserted it at the start of main:

func main() {
    client := &http.Client{}
    req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "X.X.X.X:8000/log", strings.NewReader("TEST"))
    client.Do(req)
    app.Main(func(a app.App) {
                ...
        }
        ....
}

What did you expect to see?

A log on my webserver and the app not crashing.

What did you see instead?

No log on my webserver and the app crashes.
