youtube_caption_scraper's Issues

http version is too old

i got this error while trying to install the package:

Because every version of youtube_caption_scraper depends on http ^0.13.4 and shintube depends on http ^1.1.0, youtube_caption_scraper is
  forbidden.
So, because shintube depends on youtube_caption_scraper any, version solving failed.

I need the higher version of http to do other stuff in my project.
