About Requests
++++++++++++++

Requests is an Apache2 Licensed HTTP library, written in Python, for human
beings. Requests takes all of the work out of Python HTTP/1.1 =E2=80=94 mak=
ing your
integration with web services seamless. There=E2=80=99s no need to manually=
 add
query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive
and HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, powered by urllib3.

2.6.0 (2015-03-14)
++++++++++++++++++

**Bugfixes**

- Fix handling of cookies on redirect. Previously a cookie without a host
  value set would use the hostname for the redirected URL exposing requests
  users to session fixation attacks and potentially cookie stealing. This
was
  disclosed privately by Matthew Daley of `BugFuzz <https://bugfuzz.com>`_.
  An CVE identifier has not yet been assigned for this. This affects all
  versions of requests from v2.1.0 to v2.5.3 (inclusive on both ends).

- Fix error when requests is an ``install_requires`` dependency and ``pytho=
n
  setup.py test`` is run. (#2462)

- Fix error when urllib3 is unbundled and requests continues to use the
  vendored import location.

- Include fixes to ``urllib3``'s header handling.

- Requests' handling of unvendored dependencies is now more restrictive.

**Features and Improvements**

- Support bytearrays when passed as parameters in the ``files`` argument.
  (#2468)

- Avoid data duplication when creating a request with ``str``, ``bytes``, o=
r
  ``bytearray`` input to the ``files`` argument.
