Title: Removed host params for excon connections

I am not familiar enough with your code to know if this is the right way to solve this, but I gave it a shot. We are seeing excon errors in the new 1.16.0 version which is resolved by the following change. Here is a summary of the error we are seeing:

Invalid Excon request keys: :host
