Explore removing Request dependency
Request is awesome. But we don't need all of its features. And more importantly there is currently no library for recording and playback of REST calls which limits testing options.
No longer considering this change.
Given that Request has been deprecated (see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142), is it time to revisit this?
@MikeBishop opening as it is worth revisiting. Any volunteers to put together a PR?
Or at least making suggestions for replacements? Since the original bug I did find the Sepia project which does provide record/playback capability.
