# Description
_(Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.)_
This pull request removes `Reqwest` and replaces it with `Ureq` to
remove some of our dependencies, giving us faster compile times as well
as smaller binaries. `Ureq` does not have an async runtime included so
we do not need build heavy dependencies such as `Tokio`. From older
tests I had the number of build units be reduced from `430 -> 392`.
The default of `Ureq` uses `Rustls` but it has been configured to
instead use `native_tls` which should work exactly the same as the `tls`
works now.
I removed `content-length` from the http commands as after refactoring i
did not see a reason to have it available, correct me if this is
something we should preserve.
In the medium, to long term, we should maybe consider changing to
`rustls` to have the same `tls` on all platforms.

# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
