Add support for other runtimes than Tokio

[bepvte]

I think the best bet is to wait for surf to finish supporting hyper, unless you dont mind requiring libcurl for now. http-rs/http-client#1

Hyper on anything but tokio is very complicated currently.

tbh the issues is not really http, but it is more that at the moment when there is not more people working on or in it, there are other parts of the project I think is more important to work on, at some point it is probably good to add the support though, it will just mean that we have to ad one or two features to all the crates. If anyone is up for doing that now, and have a look at it from time to time I will gladly accept prs for it.

About the reqwest usage; yeah I can see a time where we can switch to surf, it should not be a too big of an issue as we have abstracted the raw calls nearly away in most cases so it could be a viable choice when it is a bit more ready and battle tested.

also in similar vain to your comment, async-tungstenite also supports both tokio and async
-std

This issue has been marked as stale because it has been open with no activity for 60 days. It will be closed in 5 days unless a comment triages the issue.

Closing for now because the only other notable runtime is smol (and async-std via smol), which has tokio compatibility. The ecosystem is too fractured still to solve this in a way to make everything runtime-agnostic.
