Suggestion: Use Retrofit for HTTP requests.

[Isira-Seneviratne]

Retrofit is a HTTP client where REST APIs can be declared as interfaces, and has support for type converters such as Moshi (JSON) and jspoon (HTML). Using it would allow the code for making the requests to be simplified.

@AudricV @Stypox What do you think?

Edit: I've created a sample pull request here.

Has worked

But the downloader has to be specified by clients using NPE, not by NPE itself

Also, Retrofit requires at least API level 21, as it relies on OkHttp. Will that be a deal-breaker for this particular proposed change?

Not since the app version 0.24.0 made it the new minSDKVersion, but who knows?

Since some apps using the extractor are targeting Android versions below 5.0, I downgraded the required dependency versions in the PR I created.
