Research direction
Start with this issue and its first comments, which contain examples of how request is used. Identify the required calling conventions and compare them with the proposed Node.js HTTP options. Done means agreeing on a replacement approach and defining the supported API, but no implementation location or tests are named.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
request is deprecated.
I want to write a new request, that has similar calling conventions, limited to the subset I use in my apps, that calls some interface to HTTP that's not being deprecated.
I understand that a lot of people are using fetch. But which one? I don't care about stylistic considerations because all the details are going to be hidden behind a simple and familiar API.
So the question is this -- how are you moving on from request?
Never mind whether this is a good idea, this is about doing the work to get beyond this deprecation with minimal pain.
In the first few comments I provide examples of how I use request in my codebase.
Thanks in advance.
