- [Short description of non-trivial change.]
Bugfixes
- Fixed parsing issue that resulted in the
auth
component being dropped from proxy URLs. (#6028)
Improvements
-
Officially added support for Python 3.10. (#5928)
-
Added a
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError
to unify JSON exceptions between Python 2 and 3. This gets raised in theresponse.json()
method, and is backwards compatible as it inherits from previously thrown exceptions. Can be caught fromrequests.exceptions.RequestException
as well. (#5856) -
Improved error text for misnamed
InvalidSchema
andMissingSchema
exceptions. This is a temporary fix until exceptions can be renamed (Schema->Scheme). (#6017) -
Improved proxy parsing for proxy URLs missing a scheme. This will address recent changes to
urlparse
in Python 3.9+. (#5917)
Bugfixes
-
Fixed defect in
extract_zipped_paths
which could result in an infinite loop for some paths. (#5851) -
Fixed handling for
AttributeError
when calculating length of files obtained byTarfile.extractfile()
. (#5239) -
Fixed urllib3 exception leak, wrapping
urllib3.exceptions.InvalidHeader
withrequests.exceptions.InvalidHeader
. (#5914) -
Fixed bug where two Host headers were sent for chunked requests. (#5391)
-
Fixed regression in Requests 2.26.0 where
Proxy-Authorization
was incorrectly stripped from all requests sent withSession.send
. (#5924) -
Fixed performance regression in 2.26.0 for hosts with a large number of proxies available in the environment. (#5924)
-
Fixed idna exception leak, wrapping
UnicodeError
withrequests.exceptions.InvalidURL
for URLs with a leading dot (.) in the domain. (#5414)
Deprecations
- Requests support for Python 2.7 and 3.6 will be ending in 2022. While we don't have exact dates, Requests 2.27.x is likely to be the last release series providing support.
Improvements
-
Requests now supports Brotli compression, if either the
brotli
orbrotlicffi
package is installed. (#5783) -
Session.send
now correctly resolves proxy configurations from both the Session and Request. Behavior now matchesSession.request
. (#5681)
Bugfixes
- Fixed a race condition in zip extraction when using Requests in parallel from zip archive. (#5707)
Dependencies
-
Instead of
chardet
, use the MIT-licensedcharset_normalizer
for Python3 to remove license ambiguity for projects bundling requests. Ifchardet
is already installed on your machine it will be used instead ofcharset_normalizer
to keep backwards compatibility. (#5797)You can also install
chardet
while installing requests by specifying[use_chardet_on_py3]
extra as follows:pip install "requests[use_chardet_on_py3]"
Python2 still depends upon the
chardet
module. -
Requests now supports
idna
3.x on Python 3.idna
2.x will continue to be used on Python 2 installations. (#5711)
Deprecations
-
The
requests[security]
extra has been converted to a no-op install. PyOpenSSL is no longer the recommended secure option for Requests. (#5867) -
Requests has officially dropped support for Python 3.5. (#5867)
- Python 2.5 Support
- PyPy-c v1.4 Support
- Auto-Authentication tests
- Improved Request object constructor
New HTTPHandling Methods
: - Response.\_\_nonzero\_\_ (false if bad HTTP Status)
- Response.ok (True if expected HTTP Status)
- Response.error (Logged HTTPError if bad HTTP Status)
- Response.raise\_for\_status() (Raises stored HTTPError)
- Still handles request in the event of an HTTPError. (Issue #2)
- Eventlet and Gevent Monkeypatch support.
- Cookie Support (Issue #1)
- Added file attribute to POST and PUT requests for multipart-encode file uploads.
- Added Request.url attribute for context and redirects
- Birth!
- Frustration
- Conception
