Package: python-requests
Version: 2.4.3-6
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Please update to python-requests2.7 or python3-requests2.7 . Here's
the changelog as can be seen via
https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/master/HISTORY.rst

2.7.0 (2015-05-03)

This is the first release that follows our new release process. For
more, see [our documentation](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/community/release-process/).

Bugfixes

    Updated urllib3 to 1.10.4, resolving several bugs involving
chunked transfer encoding and response framing.

2.6.2 (2015-04-23)

Bugfixes

    Fix regression where compressed data that was sent as chunked data
was not properly decompressed. (#2561)

2.6.1 (2015-04-22)

Bugfixes

    Remove VendorAlias import machinery introduced in v2.5.2.
    Simplify the PreparedRequest.prepare API: We no longer require the
user to pass an empty list to the hooks keyword argument. (c.f. #2552)
    Resolve redirects now receives and forwards all of the original
arguments to the adapter. (#2503)
    Handle UnicodeDecodeErrors when trying to deal with a unicode URL
that cannot be encoded in ASCII. (#2540)
    Populate the parsed path of the URI field when performing Digest
Authentication. (#2426)
    Copy a PreparedRequest's CookieJar more reliably when it is not an
instance of RequestsCookieJar. (#2527)

2.6.0 (2015-03-14)

Bugfixes

    CVE-2015-2296: Fix handling of cookies on redirect. Previously a
cookie without a host value set would use the hostname for the
redirected URL exposing requests users to session fixation attacks and
potentially cookie stealing. This was disclosed privately by Matthew
Daley of BugFuzz. This affects all versions of requests from v2.1.0 to
v2.5.3 (inclusive on both ends).
    Fix error when requests is an install_requires dependency and
python setup.py test is run. (#2462)
    Fix error when urllib3 is unbundled and requests continues to use
the vendored import location.
    Include fixes to urllib3's header handling.
    Requests' handling of unvendored dependencies is now more restrictive.

Features and Improvements

    Support bytearrays when passed as parameters in the files argument. (#2468)
    Avoid data duplication when creating a request with str, bytes, or
bytearray input to the files argument.

2.5.3 (2015-02-24)

Bugfixes

    Revert changes to our vendored certificate bundle. For more
context see (#2455, #2456, and http://bugs.python.org/issue23476)

2.5.2 (2015-02-23)

Features and Improvements

    Add sha256 fingerprint support. (shazow/urllib3#540)
    Improve the performance of headers. (shazow/urllib3#544)

Bugfixes

    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)
    Disable the built-in hostname verification. (shazow/urllib3#526)
    Fix the behaviour of decoding an exhausted stream. (shazow/urllib3#535)

Security

    Pulled in an updated cacert.pem.
    Drop RC4 from the default cipher list. (shazow/urllib3#551)

2.5.1 (2014-12-23)

Behavioural Changes

    Only catch HTTPErrors in raise_for_status (#2382)

Bugfixes

    Handle LocationParseError from urllib3 (#2344)
    Handle file-like object filenames that are not strings (#2379)
    Unbreak HTTPDigestAuth handler. Allow new nonces to be negotiated (#2389)

2.5.0 (2014-12-01)

Improvements

    Allow usage of urllib3's Retry object with HTTPAdapters (#2216)
    The iter_lines method on a response now accepts a delimiter with
which to split the content (#2295)

Behavioural Changes

    Add deprecation warnings to functions in requests.utils that will
be removed in 3.0 (#2309)
    Sessions used by the functional API are always closed (#2326)
    Restrict requests to HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 (stop accepting HTTP/0.9) (#2323)

Bugfixes

    Only parse the URL once (#2353)
    Allow Content-Length header to always be overriden (#2332)
    Properly handle files in HTTPDigestAuth (#2333)
    Cap redirect_cache size to prevent memory abuse (#2299)
    Fix HTTPDigestAuth handling of redirects after authenticating
successfully (#2253)
    Fix crash with custom method parameter to Session.request (#2317)
    Fix how Link headers are parsed using the regular expression library (#2271)
