Merge http-client-tls into http-client
I know it comes with some heavy dependencies, but the good news is 80% of worldwide internet uses TLS and those numbers are only going up.
Switching between two managers is a constant pain and I think it would improve getting started experience with http-client.
The purpose is to allow choice of backends. I don't know what pain you're referring to with "switching," you should only use one Manager.
Backends could still be pluggable, just that default would be TLS supported. I see no reason why the current default could be used if someone wants to skip LTS in those 20% of use cases.
That would mean if I want to use http-client-openssl, I would still need to compile the whole tls stack as well. ;-(
Perhaps a better approach could be to let http-client-tls re-export http-client, or something along those lines? Not sure though
