@efectn Any idea why we use fasthttp.Client instead of fasthttp.HostClient ? Adding this feature requires HostClient, I think.

[efectn]

fasthttp.HostClient is a good choice if you only target one host. However, we want to support multiple hosts in fiber client, so i prefered using fasthttp.Client rather than fasthttp.HostClient. I think if you have an edge-case, requiring using fashttp.HostClient, it might not be a good idea to use Fiber client which purposes general usage.

Have we considered supporting the fasthttp lbclient feature?
