Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

RestClient is now almost 4 years old without maintenance. It has old dependencies which aren't being updated. So, this is starting to cause pain. Ideally, we don't use RestClient any more.

Describe the ideal solution

I think migrating to faraday is a good idea. It provides a nice interface which is very similar to HTTPProxy and is well maintained.

Thanks @ioquatix, I agree there is an updated needed in this area. We're working out a plan for evolving this library and this is a key area that we could improve upon. I don't have a timeline for resolution but I'm recording this feedback internally.

@stevehobbsdev can you please consider #592? I've kept this branch up to date with master since May, but if it's not relevant to you we'd like to consider using the API directly to avoid outdated and forked dependencies.
