Where to go instead 2

  1. undici A real piece of work

    The HTTP client Node ships its own fetch on top of

    Rewrite callbacks as awaited `undici.request()`; response bodies are streams, not buffered strings.

    Checked by hand.

  2. axios A few hours

    Closest shape to request, if you want the smaller diff

    `request(opts, cb)` becomes `await axios(opts)`; the body is `response.data`, and non-2xx throws.

    Checked by hand.
