Description

Hi,

When I add httpie to an angular project I get the following error:

```
Error: node_modules/httpie/index.d.ts:1:21 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'url' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { Url } from 'url';
```
As a workaround, I just removed the 'import' statement and the 'Url' references and it seems to work fine.

```
export function send(method: string, uri: string | URL, opts?: Partial): Promise>;

declare function method(uri: string | URL, opts?: Partial): Promise>;
```
If it really doesn't break anything, maybe this patch can be pushed to the repository.

Research direction

Start with node_modules/httpie/index.d.ts and inspect the import of Url from 'url' and its references in the declarations. Reproduce the Angular TypeScript error, then verify that the declarations compile without the missing-module error while preserving the send and method API types.
