It’s only used in one place and there not even all of
its functionality is needed. It’s not only simpler and shorter,
but easier to understand if Tesla’s keyword list is just inlined.
The only useful bit which is now migrated to Pleroma.HTTP is
addition of the user-agent header (except, sometimes, in tests)
The web_push_encryption lib assumes HTTPoison semantics
which is why we also need to convert the header format.
Inspecting the libraries source shows that Tesla won’t
understand the options anyway and its only used to enable TLS/SSL.
When this was ported from Pleroma in
5da9cbd8a5
we did not take into acount that Akkoma’s and Pleroma’s
HTTP backend take different options.
There’s no need for the :pool option
and enforcing a body limit on download
is currently not possible with Finch
Ideally we’d use a single common HTTP request error format handling
for _all_ HTTP requests (including non-ActivityPub requests, e.g. NodeInfo).
But for the purpose of this commit this would create too much noise
and it is significant effort to go through all error pattern matches etc
too ensure it is still all correct or update as needed.
The Signature module now handles interaction with the HTTPSignature library
and the plug everything related to HTTP itself. It now also no longer needs to be public.
To achieve this signatures are now generated by a custom
Tesla Middleware placed after the FollowRedirects Middleware.
Any requests which should be signed needs
to pass the signing key via opts.
This also unifies the associated header logic between fetching and
publishing, notably resolving a divergence wrt the "host" header.
Relevant spec demands the host header shall include a port
identification if not using the protocols standard port.
