Care required with dependent module versioning when using excon with httpi

[jackrg]

By default, httpi uses excon, but there can be version-related issues between these two libraries, causing Amazon to report that the Signature does not match. By changing to curb, this problem disappears. It may be the case that the correct combination of versions works, but I was not able to determine the correct combination. This can be done by adding 'require "curb"' prior to the 'require "asin"' command.

hi @jackrg

thx for reporting those issues. from what i know, HTTPI is adapter agnostic and does not favor one adapter over another. all dependencies are optional and it just "does the right thing"(:tm:) when you do not specify an adapter. if you don't want this behavior, go ahead and configure HTTPI to your needs. this is from my asin-web rails example application:

require 'httpi'
HTTPI.adapter = :curb
HTTPI.logger  = Rails.logger

Thanks for the info.
