This upgrade from axios v0.19.0 to v0.21.1 includes minor versions that introduce behavioral changes requiring verification.

Key Changes:

• v0.20.0: This version contains a security fix for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). As part of this fix, the logic for merging configurations was changed, which may affect how default configurations for axios.create() instances are handled. Additionally, how proxy settings are handled has been made more strict.
• v0.21.0: Introduces new features like maxBodyLength and maxContentLength for controlling request/response sizes.

Potential Impact:

• The changes to configuration merging and proxy handling in v0.20.0 are the primary risks. Applications that rely on the previous, less strict merging logic or specific proxy behaviors may require updates.

Recommendation:
Verify that your axios.create() instance configurations and any proxy settings behave as expected after the upgrade. Test application functionality that relies on GET requests with data in the body, as support for this was unintentionally affected in v0.20.0.
