As you can see in the above image, my HTTP package does not seem to work. I’m using Julia 1.6.2 and HTTP 0.9.

in the “]” (pkg) you can query all installed packages with `st`  
… and you can update all - with the `up` command

my version: v0.9.13

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> up HTTP
    Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
  No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Manifest.toml`

(@v1.6) pkg> st HTTP
      Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [cd3eb016] HTTP v0.9.13

```

My conclusion was that between Julia version 1.2 to 1.3, the base Regex removed `match_data` field. I think HTTP.jl version 0.8.4 and up has updated to that removal. Can you double check your HTTP.jl version?
