Eiffel Intelligence should use HttpRequest from commons

[Deleted user]

Description

Eiffel Intelligence uses both a locally created HttpRequest and Spring RestOperations while there is a general HttpRequest/Executor in eiffel-community/commons.

Steps:

• Update HttpRequest in notifications package with new name since it has the same name as the HttpRequest in comons, new name could be HttpRequestBuilder or similar.
• Ensure that it does no longer use HttpRequestSender but instead uses HttpRequest from Eiffel Commons.
• Search all tests and look for places where tests use a local HttpRequest and executor, replace those with the HttpRequest from Eiffel Commons.
• If needed update functionaliy if the HttpRequest in Eiffel Commons.

Motivation

Use of a single HttpClient will reduce duplication of code, enable easier debuging and give us control of how the rest request is performed.

Benefits

See motivation.

Possible Drawbacks

None.

This could be a good first issue but then we need to add references to code and more details to description and examples.
