# Updated description by @rgwood
This PR changes `fetch` to `http get` and `post` to `http post`. `fetch`
and `post` are now deprecated. [I surveyed people on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/601130461678272524/1065706282566307910)
and users strongly approved of this change.
# Original Description
This PR is related to #2741 and my first pull request in rust :)
Implemented a new http mod to better http support and alias `fetch` and
`post` commands to `http get` and `http post` respectively.
# User-Facing Changes
Users will be able to use HTTP method via http command, for example
``` shell
> http get "https://www.example.com"
<!doctype html>
<html>
...
```
This restores a basic version of the `post` command.
Some source types have been omitted from this first take.
I copied from `fetch` and from `post`@0.40.0.
Part of #4356
* Move fetch to extra
* Move byte stream code to a function instead of copying it twice
* Fix formatting issues
* Make fetch a default command
* Fix formatting
* Port fetch to engine-q
* Fix check for path as a string
* Add a timeout flag and fix some span issues
* Add a temporary fetch command that returns byte streams. Got rid of async stuff as we're using the blocking feature of tokio
* More tweaks for the bytestream
* Rewrite fetch using ByteStreams
* buffer read on bytes directly
