requests 2.28.0

v2.28.0

on Python PyPI

2.28.0 (2022-06-09)

Deprecations

• ⚠️ Requests has officially dropped support for Python 2.7. ⚠️ (#6091)
• Requests has officially dropped support for Python 3.6 (including pypy3). (#6091)

Improvements

• Wrap JSON parsing issues in Request's JSONDecodeError for payloads without
  an encoding to make json() API consistent. (#6097)
• Parse header components consistently, raising an InvalidHeader error in
  all invalid cases. (#6154)
• Added provisional 3.11 support with current beta build. (#6155)
• Requests got a makeover and we decided to paint it black. (#6095)

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug where setting CURL_CA_BUNDLE to an empty string would disable
  cert verification. All Requests 2.x versions before 2.28.0 are affected. (#6074)
• Fixed urllib3 exception leak, wrapping urllib3.exceptions.SSLError with
  requests.exceptions.SSLError for content and iter_content. (#6057)
• Fixed issue where invalid Windows registry entires caused proxy resolution
  to raise an exception rather than ignoring the entry. (#6149)
• Fixed issue where entire payload could be included in the error message for
  JSONDecodeError. (#6079
