Description

Is this planned at all? And if I was interested in implementing it myself, where would I start?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the 67 comments on this issue for prior discussion and potential implementation approaches. Examine the fasthttp codebase, focusing on the existing HTTP/1.x handling in files like server.go and client.go. Investigate how other Go HTTP libraries (e.g., net/http) implement HTTP/2 support, particularly the use of golang.org/x/net/http2. Propose a design that integrates HTTP/2 without compromising fasthttp's zero alloc high performance model. Since the issue is open and the maintainer has not committed to the feature, first clarify whether the maintainer would accept a PR and what design constraints exist.
