Upgrade to v2.1
                    I am in the process of upgrading the existing HTTP_ routines that you provide, to the new version with my changes.
I now come to to my APIs and I see a big difference between your 'old' http_users_services and the new one.
I really dont want to hack my code that much, so, what would be the bare minimum changes I need to make for it to work in the new 'environment'
Here is a sample api you can use:

Hopefully you understand that retrofitting your entire HTTP service is not something we would consider "support". We provided you full source code so you could do this yourself. Support is helping you with unexpected behavior or, perhaps, helping to answer the "why" and "how" questions.
You called it retrofitting in your changes to http_users_services.
