Replace `@cypress/request`

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Replace the use of @cypress/request in Cypress.

Why is this needed?

• @cypress/request is a fork of request/request. The original repo was deprecated more than 4 years ago on Feb 11, 2020.

• Issues arise which can no longer be fixed in @cypress/request. See https://github.com/cypress-io/request/pull/45#issuecomment-2197458781.

From previous investigations, the plan was to replace it with got.

There was a comment last year which mentioned using fetch. Also I notice that ky is mentioned as a replacement. I can't personally say what the best choice would be though.

Yah, part of the work was evaluating which would be the most appropriate replacement.
