Is this assigned to anyone?

I would like to test this library, and maybe i can do this change to code for you.

What library you planned to use instead?

Hi! No, it's not assigned, feel free to take a shot. I haven't researched for libraries yet; I believe we'd need a library which is promise-based and accepts options via an object (so we can do options merging, useful in config etc.)

Signature should be something like request({ method: "...", url: "...", headers: { ... }, ... }): Promise<any>. Ideally, it should throw on 4xx, 5xx. Optionally, it should follow redirects.

I'd be open to use a library which doesn't follow the requirements I described, as long as we can define a wrapper function with the signature mentioned above.

Thanks for your interest :)
