In order to introduce a new library in place of request, it will need a full rewrite of the codebase. Also, there are a few alternatives available like axios, got or fetch (natively available since nodejs v21). I think we need to see what could be our best and future proof alternative. I would propose to move to native fetch module since that's going to be native to nodejs in coming future. Thoughts @raymondfeng @dhmlau @achrinza ?
