Tesla instead of HTTPotion?

[oleks]

I noticed that HTTPotion is deprecated.. The suggestion from the package author there is to use Tesla instead.

Changing this is a pretty big change, so I wanted to ask before going ahead with this, whether you have better plans in store?

@oleks I really don't use this library any more as I am now contracting as a Ruby developer. I have used it plenty of times in the past.

I think if the top-level API that Elastic exposes changes as little as possible then I think it would be fine to replace it with Tesla. I'm guessing a good reason to do that would be so that when you do a mix deps.get you have one HTTP library downloaded / compiled instead of two.

I can take over maintenance of the library for now, if you like?
