NTLM authentication with Ruby and Faraday
Net::HTTP is good. Even so, how to authenticate with popular gem, for instance Faraday? I started to figure out how to implement the protocol with Faraday 🤔

I'm too tied to the implementation. If one day I decide to use Faraday or HTTParty as my HTTP clients instead of Net::HTTP, this test will fail.

Best Ruby HTTP Clients in 2023
In fact, because the metric is clearly "number of stars", it suggests you two libraries which are either not maintained in almost 3 years, or that haven't had a release in 3 years and a commit in 10 months, despite both of them having a buttload of open issues.

The Best Ruby HTTP clients for 2021
Have you had a play with typhoeus by any chance? It's a wrapper over libcurl, so you get OS threads for free - which is kind of nice.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Faraday and Typhoeus you can also consider the following projects:
RESTClient - Simple HTTP and REST client for Ruby, inspired by microframework syntax for specifying actions.
httparty - :tada: Makes http fun again!
HTTP - HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts
excon - Usable, fast, simple HTTP 1.1 for Ruby
Http Client - 'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
Patron - Ruby HTTP client based on libcurl
Savon - Heavy metal SOAP client
