    ๐Ÿ›  Bugfixes

    • ๐Ÿšš Copy pip's import machinery. When downstream redistributors remove requests.packages.urllib3 the import machinery will continue to let those same symbols work. Example usage in requests' documentation and 3rd-party libraries relying on the vendored copies of urllib3 will work without having to fallback to the system urllib3.
    • Attempt to quote parts of the URL on redirect if unquoting and then quoting fails. (#2356)
    • Fix filename type check for multipart form-data uploads. (#2411)
    • Properly handle the case where a server issuing digest authentication challenges provides both auth and auth-int qop-values. (#2408)
    • Fix a socket leak. (shazow/urllib3#549)
    • Fix multiple Set-Cookie headers properly. (shazow/urllib3#534)
