What a strange time. I just read this sentence in an article about an HTTP client:
"Lightweight : Just 157~ KB in size"
Sorry but 157 KB is NOT lightweight. Especially for an alternative to "fetch".

FreeBSD's fetch is definitely the tiniest of the HTTP clients on my systems:
gunnos@freebsd$ ls -sh1 `which wget fetch curl`
21 /usr/bin/fetch
217 /usr/local/bin/curl
373 /usr/local/bin/wget
gumnos@openbsd$ ls -sh1 `which wget ftp curl`
292 /usr/bin/ftp
704 /usr/local/bin/curl
1216 /usr/local/bin/wget
So 157KB is smaller than the other non-fetch HTTP tools, but the omit the 7.384 GB of disk-space required by Node.js+modules 😆
