 HTTP clients, but can have custom implementations. Adapters can be configured
 either globally or per Faraday Connection through the configuration block.
 
+For example, consider using `httpclient` as an adapter. Note that [faraday-httpclient](https://github.com/lostisland/faraday-httpclient) must be installed beforehand.

+If you wants to configure it globally, do the following:
