requests v2.12.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-11-15 // over 7 years ago

  • 👌 Improvements

    • ⚡️ Updated support for internationalized domain names from IDNA2003 to IDNA2008. This updated support is required for several forms of IDNs and is mandatory for .de domains.
    • Much improved heuristics for guessing content lengths: Requests will no longer read an entire StringIO into memory.
    • Much improved logic for recalculating Content-Length headers for PreparedRequest objects.
    • Improved tolerance for file-like objects that have no tell method but do have a seek method.
    • Anything that is a subclass of Mapping is now treated like a dictionary by the data= keyword argument.
    • Requests now tolerates empty passwords in proxy credentials, rather than stripping the credentials.
    • If a request is made with a file-like object as the body and that request is redirected with a 307 or 308 status code, Requests will now attempt to rewind the body object so it can be replayed.

    🛠 Bugfixes

    • When calling response.close, the call to close will be propagated through to non-urllib3 backends.
    • 🛠 Fixed issue where the ALL_PROXY environment variable would be preferred over scheme-specific variables like HTTP_PROXY.
    • 🛠 Fixed issue where non-UTF8 reason phrases got severely mangled by falling back to decoding using ISO 8859-1 instead.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where Requests would not correctly correlate cookies set when using custom Host headers if those Host headers did not use the native string type for the platform.

    Miscellaneous

    • ⚡️ Updated bundled urllib3 to 1.19.
    • ⚡️ Updated bundled certifi certs to 2016.09.26.
