Object#timeout is deprecated, use Timeout.timeout instead.

This warning is thrown by dependency httpclient 2.6.0.1 when using rally_api 1.2.1 along with windows ruby version 2.3.1p112.

This issue seems to be fixed in the latest release version 2.8.2.4 here. can we use the latest release as dependency if it is alright?
However i donot see any issue with ruby version 2.1.7

It looks like they are just forcing httpclient 2.6 because it was a quick fix for a cert validation issue. Maybe just change it to:
s.add_dependency('httpclient', '>=2.6.0.1')
