See https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266HTTPClient/examples ?
Note that default timeouts for request failure are pretty generous, I'd look into reducing them for any real use.

I had done another weird client in the #1909 using the ESPAsyncTCP, but that is WIP and I need to get back to that with proper header handling and easier API

Btw, also see my comment in the #1968
Plugin code still uses brokerSubscribe and generic callback, those were replaced with SensorBroker (callback-per-event, see broker.h).
