requests v2.11.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-08-08 // over 7 years ago

  • 👌 Improvements

    • 👍 Added support for the ALL_PROXY environment variable.
    • Reject header values that contain leading whitespace or newline characters to reduce risk of header smuggling.

    🛠 Bugfixes

    • 🛠 Fixed occasional TypeError when attempting to decode a JSON response that occurred in an error case. Now correctly returns a ValueError.
    • Requests would incorrectly ignore a non-CIDR IP address in the NO_PROXY environment variables: Requests now treats it as a specific IP.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug when sending JSON data that could cause us to encounter obscure OpenSSL errors in certain network conditions (yes, really).
    • Added type checks to ensure that iter_content only accepts integers and None for chunk sizes.
    • 🛠 Fixed issue where responses whose body had not been fully consumed would have the underlying connection closed but not returned to the connection pool, which could cause Requests to hang in situations where the HTTPAdapter had been configured to use a blocking connection pool.

    Miscellaneous

    • ⚡️ Updated bundled urllib3 to 1.16.
    • 🚀 Some previous releases accidentally accepted non-strings as acceptable header values. This release does not.
