Good stuff, So I see that this library wraps the http.Client and doesn't use the roundtripper. Pretty elegant!
I still have two questions about the standard library: - Didn't understand yet why it is not allowed to add headers in the roundtripper. - Is this a bit strange that the standard library provides a beautiful way to have server middleware, but no way to have client middlewares?
