request-util

This module is used to make https requests with arguments supported by the request library (or request-promise-native) but without actually using the request library as it is deprecated.

Instead, the expected arguments are converted and used with axios, e.g.:

• baseUrl --> baseURL
• uri --> url
• qs --> params
• etc (see src/request.js for full details)
• aws aws.key and aws.secret -> aws4.sign generated headers

Similarly, the response is modified to include attributes expected on a request response, e.g.:

• data --> body
• status --> statusCode
• etc (see src/request.js for full details)

The behavior can be compared directly to request behavior by uncommenting the lines prefixed with //COMPARE and creating a USE_LEGACY_REQUEST_LIBRARY file in the base directory. The fs-extra, request, and request-promise-native libraries will also need to be installed as they are not included in package.json. If this is done, request will be used instead of axios, allowing comparison.
