How do I calculate integral of $\int\frac{\text{d}x}{\sqrt{\tan(x)}}$

I'm having problems calculating this integral.

$$\int\frac{\text{d}x}{\sqrt{\tan(x)}}$$

I don't even know where to begin...

Thanks

HINT:

$$2\sqrt{\cot x}=\sqrt{\cot x}+\sqrt{\tan x}+\sqrt{\cot x}-\sqrt{\tan x}=\dfrac{\cos x+\sin x}{\sqrt{\cos x\sin x}}+\dfrac{\cos x-\sin x}{\sqrt{\cos x\sin x}}$$

As $\int(\cos x+\sin x)dx=\sin x-\cos x,$ choose $\sin x-\cos x=u$ for the first integral.

May I leave for you the second integral?
