Another one is to implement HTTP protocol from the scratch. Which will give almost full control over the backend.

https://github.com/tkf/emacs-request Uses curl, fallbacks to url.el if the curl isn't available. Looks exactly what I need. But the last commit was a year and they do not support all the Emacs version I support.

Btw, I don't need anything fancy. I just need to make a freaking HTTP GET request. I can use cURL and fallback to url.el by myself without using those libraries.

Use this var to pass `--insecure' argument to the cURL integration
tests. This is essential for them to work since we you self-signed cert
in our testing server.
