Postman Request Client

Postman-request is a maintained fork of the popular, now-abandoned `request` module, specifically developed and used internally by Postman Runtime. Currently at version 2.88.1-postman.48, it does not follow a typical open-source release cadence but is updated as needed for Postman's internal applications. This package provides a simplified API for making HTTP requests, addressing numerous long-standing bugs and adding specific features that were never incorporated into the original `request` project. Key differentiators include fixes for old-style deflate responses, correct URL parameter encoding, enhanced redirect behaviors (especially for 307/308 with Host headers), `content-length` for streaming, improved form-data exception handling, and features like retaining authorization headers on cross-domain redirects and support for extending root CA certificates. It aims to offer a stable and patched alternative for projects still reliant on the `request` API.
