network issues with node 20+ #3458

Summary

we have major issues with the request library with node 20,
I know this library is not maintained anymore, but would like to gather some feedback / inputs
if there are any backgrounds to this or possible workarounds.

the strange thing is, we cannot reproduce this issue locally or even on the instance that causes troubles when running as a local script.

what is happening? requests are failing with strange results:
1.) either the requst ist not accepted (e.g. by aws S3), it returns with:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<TITLE>ERROR: The request could not be satisfied</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>

2.) hubspot (v2) api uses request behind the scene as well, and there we suddenly get errors with "302 Found" and it seems either the redirect is not followed anymore, or some wrong request causing the redirect in first place.

Expected Behavior

not sure what's causing this, we are currently looking into
--no-network-family-autoselection
but it should work / behave like it did before.

Current Behavior

requests are failing, but with in a non reproduceable way.

Possible Solution

not sure
