Clients send credentials via the Authorization header, while the server
stores hashed passwords as shown in the middleware example.

The Fiber client can wrap existing fasthttp clients so that you can reuse
connection pools, custom dialers, or load-balancing logic that is already tuned
for your infrastructure.
package main
import (
"log"
"time"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/client"
"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
)
func main() {
hc := &fasthttp.HostClient{
Addr: "api.internal:443",
IsTLS: true,
MaxConnDuration: 30 * time.Second,
MaxIdleConnDuration: 10 * time.Second,
}
cc := client.NewWithHostClient(hc)
resp, err := cc.Get("https://api.internal:443/status")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("status=%d body=%s", resp.StatusCode(), resp.Body())
}
package main
import (
"log"
"time"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/client"
"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
)
func main() {
lb := &fasthttp.LBClient{
Timeout: 2 * time.Second,
Clients: []fasthttp.BalancingClient{
&fasthttp.HostClient{Addr: "edge-1.internal:8080"},
&fasthttp.HostClient{Addr: "edge-2.internal:8080"},
},
}
cc := client.NewWithLBClient(lb)
// Per-request overrides such as redirects, retries, TLS, and proxy dialers
// are shared across every host client managed by the load balancer.
resp, err := cc.Get("http://service.internal/api")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("status=%d body=%s", resp.StatusCode(), resp.Body())
}
The client can store and reuse cookies between requests by attaching a cookie jar.
func main() {
jar := client.AcquireCookieJar()
defer client.ReleaseCookieJar(jar)
cc := client.New()
cc.SetCookieJar(jar)
jar.SetKeyValueBytes("httpbin.org", []byte("john"), []byte("doe"))
resp, err := cc.Get("https://httpbin.org/cookies")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(resp.Body()))
}
{
"cookies": {
"john": "doe"
}
}
Read cookies set by the server directly from the jar.
func main() {
jar := client.AcquireCookieJar()
defer client.ReleaseCookieJar(jar)
cc := client.New()
cc.SetCookieJar(jar)
_, err := cc.Get("https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/john/doe")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
uri := fasthttp.AcquireURI()
defer fasthttp.ReleaseURI(uri)
uri.SetHost("httpbin.org")
uri.SetPath("/cookies")
fmt.Println(jar.Get(uri))
}
[john=doe; path=/]
func main() {
jar := client.AcquireCookieJar()
defer client.ReleaseCookieJar(jar)
cc := client.New()
cc.SetCookieJar(jar)
_, err := cc.Get("https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/john/doe")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
resp, err := cc.Get("https://httpbin.org/cookies")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(resp.String())
}
{
"cookies": {
"john": "doe"
}
}
