Faster python app
That’s a terrible way to cache a http request. It completely ignores any cache information that the server sends and just blindly stores the result. If you want http caching httplib2 will do it properly.

Revived the promise made six years ago for Requests 3
Then, I tried to get a firm grip on urllib3 base code, contributing this and there until I was ready to kick things up with a proof of concept that would have put urllib3 far ahead. Without any breaking changes. I was delusional. This was a bit of a shock, but six months passed between my initial kick off and my formal give up, and here's why in a nutshell:

Python HTTP library 'urllib3' now works in the browser
Oh wow, thanks for this story! Would love to hear more if you have time :) Good luck with testing it out.
Note that we found an issue w/ emitting an InsecureRequestWarning by default. The request is perfectly secure, it's just we aren't telling the ConnectionPool that information (see: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3331)

Bounties Damage Open Source Projects
I've had a good experience doing a couple of bug fix bounties for urllib3 https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues . I'd be interested in how the maintainers how found running the bug bounty and if it's given them more useful fixes or if it just adds more noise to deal with

Requests Library in Python
Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s 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, thanks to urllib3.

GitHub - Spacewalkio/Goenv: 🐺 Manage Your Applications Go Environment.
Judging projects based on stars is really immature. for example everyone knows requests https://github.com/psf/requests the python package that is used in every python project out there. it has 47k star too WOW. but the thing that less people know is urllib3. https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3. it has only 3k stars. It basically does the heavy lifting for requests!!
