Does ethers provide something like "web3-providers-http"?

I’m playing with Gas Station Network, and in their GSN with ethers example they have:

const Web3HttpProvider = require('web3-providers-http')
// ...
const web3provider = new Web3HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545')
const deploymentProvider= new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(web3provider)

Can I do the same using ethers.js only, or using web3-providers-http is the only way?

The opengsn implementation is v2. #836 was implemented based on GSN v1. Looks like there are significant changes in GSN from v1 to v2. I’ll take a look closer at GSN v2 later and report back.

@justussoh , currently gsnv2 is not on the schedule. However if there’s good interest in this, @ricmoo would like this implemented as an ancillary package instead of part of ethers.
