Name conflict

[tarcieri]

I already have a library called "http.rb":

https://github.com/httprb/http.rb
https://rubygems.org/gems/http

Unfortunately I never claimed the "http.rb" gem name.

From your README:

Assuming it was the former, it was long enough ago that it actually, sadly (given the diminutive size of this perhaps), predates Faraday by about 6 months (late 2009), http.rb by well over 2 years (late 2011)

It seems you knew about our "http.rb" but chose to release under this name anyway 😢

Let's swap...

@thoran swapping doesn't help the people who already have http listed as a gem dependency... it would only make things even more confusing

[tarcieri]

I continue to get reports from people who are confused because they're installing your gem instead of mine.

If you really won't give me this name, I guess I'll be forced to rebrand my gem yet again to avoid the confusion.

I'd just like to state for the record that I think it's incredibly annoying you chose this name when you knew a library with the same name already existed. I'm kicking myself for not claiming this gem name too.

Anyway, you're making me sad. Just wanted you to know.
