Use HTTP/2 instead of 1.1
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently requests are done with HTTP 1.1:
>>> client.servers.get_all()
2025-11-11 13:25:32,402 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.hetzner.cloud:443
2025-11-11 13:25:32,630 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - https://api.hetzner.cloud:443 "GET /v1/servers?page=1&per_page=50 HTTP/1.1" 200 178
Describe the solution you'd like
The requests should use HTTP 2 for better performance as the servers do support it
$ curl -i https://api.hetzner.cloud
HTTP/2 404
Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying with HTTP 1.1 and accepting worse performance.
Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
urllib3 underpinning requests does not support HTTP 2 so this requests switching the library.
https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/milestone/10
Here httpx is suggested as an alternative. Would it be acceptable?

Is that an actual problem for your usage of the SDK?
My experience with https://github.com/ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud has been rather slow performance so I started thinking about improvements to the stack. However, I haven't done proper research whether HTTP/2 would make a difference. It would make sense though that things like multiplexing pagination would be useful.
