Remove dependencies on httplib2 and google-auth-httplib2

See original GitHub issue

This library still has dependencies on httplib2 and google-auth-httplib2. Most of the other Google Python libs have migrated away from these. Specifically, httplib2 has known thread-safety problems, and google-auth-httplib2 seems to have been developed as a backward compat package. Are there any plans for migrating these dependencies out?

Hi @hiranya911,

We’re looking at putting something related to this (moving off of httplib2) on our 2021 Q1 OKRs. We’ll update this issue when we have more concrete plans.

I think this issue is important. I am using Google Drive API with this library, but when I try to copy a folder which contains multiple files, it is super slow. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes. So, I changed it to execute in parallel, but I needed to authenticate before every single request.

I hope geniuses in Google realize this issue and do something for this…
