Windows batch files can be found in .\bin\windows\.
  • Filed the PR against the correct branch: 3.0.0 branch for changes related to OpenAPI spec 3.0. Default: master.
  • Copied the technical committee to review the pull request if your PR is targeting a particular programming language.

Description of the PR

This PR proposes switching the HTTP library used by API clients generated for ruby.

httpx is a modern ruby HTTP client, which provides most of the features out-of-the-box that an API client requires.

typhoeus hasn't seen a release in 3 years, and sees little activity lately. It's also known for a huge number of issues reported due to compilation/linking to curl.

httpx being pure ruby, supporting HTTP/2 and concurrent requests, it supports the same and then some features of typhoeus while being easier to install (no native extensions required).

This switch is made conservatively, by "switching the engine" while keeping the same public API as before.

[httpx](https://honeyryderchuck.gitlab.io/httpx/) is a modern ruby HTTP
client, which provide most of the features out-of-the-box that an API
client requires.

`typhoeus` hasn't seen a release in 3 years, and sees very little
activity lately, swagger-codegen should consider moving away from it.

@frantuma ping for review. I see that @zlx hasn't been in github for a while (he's the technical ruby person in the list), just wanted to check who's the best person to review this.

@HugoMario who can I get to review this PR? (apologies for the direct link, but saw you had recently updates, and could have the best chance of getting an answer from).
