Bryan, to be a little clearer: Amit has contributed a great deal to the HTTPClient.jl package (and might have been its original author--I'm not sure). He's not a founder of Julia itself, although he does have a number of significant contributions there as well.
Either way, he was probably the best person to answer your post, and yes, the github repo for HTTPClient.jl was the correct place to post the feature request. Cheers!
