Replace Puppy with standard HTTP client?

[YamatoSecurity]

@fukusuket
What about replacing Puppy with https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html in order to be able to compile static linux binaries?

[fukusuket]

@YamatoSecurity
Yes, I think it's good! My only concern is that a dll is required on Windows, but is that OK?

[YamatoSecurity]

@fukusuket Since we already require separate dlls to be bundled I don't think there is any problem to add one more. As long as it can compile statically on linux and macos.

[fukusuket]

@YamatoSecurity
I see, that's fine then, I agree with replacing it with HTTP client!

[fukusuket]

I'll try implementing it!

[fukusuket]

@YamatoSecurity
I tried the httpclient.html, but unforunatelly it seems that a similar issue also occurs :( It seems difficult to resolve, I'll put it hold on now.

• Replace Puppy with standard HTTP client #161

@fukusuket Thanks so much for implementing it. It seems the problem is that libpcre is still being compiled dynamically.
This person figured out how to compile it statically: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5160
Also, nimpcre might work: https://github.com/genotrance/nimpcre

@YamatoSecurity
Thank you for information! I tried, but got a compile error :(
It was last committed 4 years ago, so it may not be compatible with recent versions of Nim...?😭
