Release History
---------------

2.9.1 (2015-12-21)
++++++++++++++++++

**Bugfixes**

- Resolve regression introduced in 2.9.0 that made it impossible to send binary
  strings as bodies in Python 3.
- Fixed errors when calculating cookie expiration dates in certain locales.

**Miscellaneous**

- Updated bundled urllib3 to 1.13.1.

2.9.0 (2015-12-15)
++++++++++++++++++

**Minor Improvements** (Backwards compatible)

- The ``verify`` keyword argument now supports being passed a path to a
  directory of CA certificates, not just a single-file bundle.
- Warnings are now emitted when sending files opened in text mode.
- Added the 511 Network Authentication Required status code to the status code
  registry.

**Bugfixes**

- For file-like objects that are not seeked to the very beginning, we now
  send the content length for the number of bytes we will actually read, rather
  than the total size of the file, allowing partial file uploads.
- When uploading file-like objects, if they are empty or have no obvious
  content length we set ``Transfer-Encoding: chunked`` rather than
  ``Content-Length: 0``.
- We correctly receive the response in buffered mode when uploading chunked
  bodies.
- We now handle being passed a query string as a bytestring on Python 3, by
  decoding it as UTF-8.
- Sessions are now closed in all cases (exceptional and not) when using the
  functional API rather than leaking and waiting for the garbage collector to
  clean them up.
- Correctly handle digest auth headers with a malformed ``qop`` directive that
  contains no token, by treating it the same as if no ``qop`` directive was
  provided at all.
- Minor performance improvements when removing specific cookies by name.

**Miscellaneous**

- Updated urllib3 to 1.13.

2.8.1 (2015-10-13)
++++++++++++++++++

**Bugfixes**

- Update certificate bundle to match ``certifi`` 2015.9.6.2's weak certificate
  bundle.
- Fix a bug in 2.8.0 where requests would raise ``ConnectTimeout`` instead of
  ``ConnectionError``
- When using the PreparedRequest flow, requests will now correctly respect the
  ``json`` parameter. Broken in 2.8.0.
- When using the PreparedRequest flow, requests will now correctly handle a
  Unicode-string method name on Python 2. Broken in 2.8.0.

2.8.0 (2015-10-05)
++++++++++++++++++

**Minor Improvements** (Backwards Compatible)

- Requests now supports per-host proxies. This allows the ``proxies``
  dictionary to have entries of the form
  ``{'<scheme>://<hostname>': '<proxy>'}``. Host-specific proxies will be used
  in preference to the previously-supported scheme-specific ones, but the
  previous syntax will continue to work.
- ``Response.raise_for_status`` now prints the URL that failed as part of the
  exception message.
- ``requests.utils.get_netrc_auth`` now takes an ``raise_errors`` kwarg,
  defaulting to ``False``. When ``True``, errors parsing ``.netrc`` files cause
  exceptions to be thrown.
- Change to bundled projects import logic to make it easier to unbundle
  requests downstream.
- Changed the default User-Agent string to avoid leaking data on Linux: now
  contains only the requests version.

**Bugfixes**

- The ``json`` parameter to ``post()`` and friends will now only be used if
  neither ``data`` nor ``files`` are present, consistent with the
  documentation.
- We now ignore empty fields in the ``NO_PROXY`` environment variable.
- Fixed problem where ``httplib.BadStatusLine`` would get raised if combining
  ``stream=True`` with ``contextlib.closing``.
- Prevented bugs where we would attempt to return the same connection back to
  the connection pool twice when sending a Chunked body.
- Miscellaneous minor internal changes.
- Digest Auth support is now thread safe.

**Updates**

- Updated urllib3 to 1.12.

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 <https://bugfuzz.com>`_. 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`_)

- Assorted urllib3 fixes.

2.2.0 (2014-01-09)
++++++++++++++++++

**API Changes**

2.0.0 (2013-09-24)
++++++++++++++++++

**API Changes:**

- Keys in the Headers dictionary are now native strings on all Python versions,
  i.e. bytestrings on Python 2, unicode on Python 3.
- Proxy URLs now *must* have an explicit scheme. A ``MissingSchema`` exception
  will be raised if they don't.

- ``RequestException`` is now a subclass of ``IOError``, not ``RuntimeError``.
- Added new method to ``PreparedRequest`` objects: ``PreparedRequest.copy()``.

  method updates a ``Request`` object with the data (e.g. cookies) stored on
  the ``Session``.
- Added new method to ``Session`` objects: ``Session.prepare_request()``. This
  method updates and prepares a ``Request`` object, and returns the
  corresponding ``PreparedRequest`` object.
- Added new method to ``HTTPAdapter`` objects: ``HTTPAdapter.proxy_headers()``.
  This should not be called directly, but improves the subclass interface.
- ``httplib.IncompleteRead`` exceptions caused by incorrect chunked encoding
  will now raise a Requests ``ChunkedEncodingError`` instead.
