    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:

    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)

    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.

    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!!
