Docs on migrating from request to fetch?

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

Overview

👋 Coming over from https://github.com/Munter/hyperlink/issues/200: I'd like to migrate hyperlink over to using native fetch(). It looks pretty straightforward except for two request() options:

• gzip
• strictSSL

gzip looks like it can be dropped:

https://github.com/request/request/blob/3c0cddc7c8eb60b470e9519da85896ed7ee0081e/README.md?plain=1#L1038-L1039

...but strictSSL I don't understand how it's different from fetch():

https://github.com/request/request/blob/3c0cddc7c8eb60b470e9519da85896ed7ee0081e/README.md?plain=1#L842

Could we please have a guide on how to migrate off some of these non-standard properties? I think it'd be helpful for anybody who, like me, isn't familiar with request and is wondering about their nuances.

Note that this is not the same as what's currently in #3143. That's a summary table of alternative libraries that doesn't go into depth.

strictSSL is fairly straight forward. If you search this repo for strictSSL, you'll find this:

if (self.strictSSL === false) {
    self.rejectUnauthorized = false

rejectUnauthorized is a node tls option.
