Reqwest is a higher level http client, that underneath uses hyper.
It handles tls, proxys and other higher level stuff for us, and
will allow use to drop some glue code, like the redirect handling,
in the future.
This reverts commit e64883eecb
and 40dd2d6923
Seems like core.run() returns once its done even if there
are still tasks in the Runtime underneath. A way to solve that
would be to call the shutdown_on_idle method.
We need ownership of the threadpool in order to invoke
`shutdown_on_idle` method but core.runtime only returns a
referrence so we need to create our own threadpool.
This requires a RUSTFLAG to be set before hand for rayon to build.
This brakes a lot of tools like rls and clippy by default and
require special configs for itnegration.
Additionally, rayon_futures is still 0.1 and not much work seem
to have gone into it. Ideally it should be replased with the tokio
runtime/threadpool.
