Is there any reason why grunt-curl is not using the new request module? #7

I use both grunt-curl and request, however I need to use the newest request V2.21.0, though grunt-curl comes with 2.12.0. I was just wondering if there was reason it was using an older version?

The reason is neglect. I have a lot of modules which I maintain and keeping all of their dependencies up to date can (a) break tests and (b) accumulates to a large portion of time.

That being said, if you open up a pull request with the package.json changes, I will run the tests and if they pass, I will merge it in.

Lastly, npm allows for depending on different versions of a module for different dependencies, so grunt-curl and request should be non-conflicting. The only issue would be more disk space. However, it is preferred to use grunt-curl as a devDependency rather than a normal dependency as grunt tasks should be run only while in development.

Updated package to point to request@2.21.0 for grunt-curl@1.1.0.
