+
+  - `:status_code` - Check if the request responds with the given status code

+    taking a response as first parameter and must return a boolean

+  Request Options:

+  - `:method` - the request method, one of [`:head`, `:get`, `:delete`, `:trace`, `:options`, `:post`, `:put`, `:patch`]

+  - `:timeout` - The timeout of the request (in milliseconds), defaults to `5000`
