urllib3 VS Cloudbox

As opposed to what the article says, urllib3 now has experimental support for browser as of Jan 30th.

Source: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/releases/tag/2.2.0

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

ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with LibreSSL 2.8.3. See: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2168

> Could not import extension sphinx.builders.linkcheck (exception: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017. See: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2168)

This error is coming from Python, it's telling us Python is failing to import the urllib3 library, these lines here are important:

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!!

urllib3 – Python HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post support, user friendly, and more

I have just got my first seedbox and im trying to get it setup, first thing i would like to do is get plex working with my existing libraries stored on Google Drive. I have followed all the guides ( How to mount Google Drive for Plex usage | RapidSeedbox: Help Center & Google Drive API Client ID and Client Secret · Cloudbox/Cloudbox Wiki · GitHub )

Plex + https://cloudbox.works/ on a server in a friendly country. Fully automatic once you set it up.

Swizzin, Cloudbox or /r/plexshares are the easiest ways.

If you're willing to put in the work, I recommend taking a look at Cloudbox.

Biggest established tooling projects are Cloudbox (Docker), and Swizzin' (not Docker).

See also Cloudbox, and Swizzin'. The latter is a more complete, alibeit not Dockery, soln.

You'd probably prefer to look at something like Cloudbox then, which is a kind of Dockerized version of the same thing. Also pretty popular.
