  <description>
The python-requests module has been updated to version 2.8.1, which brings several
fixes and enhancements:

- 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. (bsc#922448, CVE-2015-2296)

- Add support for per-host proxies. This allows the proxies dictionary to have entries
  of the form {'&lt;scheme&gt;://&lt;hostname&gt;': '&lt;proxy&gt;'}. Host-specific
  proxies will be used in preference to the previously-supported scheme-specific ones,
  but the previous syntax will continue to work.
- Update certificate bundle to match "certifi" 2015.9.6.2's weak certificate bundle.
- 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.
- Change the default User-Agent string to avoid leaking data on Linux: now contains only
  the requests version.
- The json parameter to post() and friends will now only be used if neither data nor files
  are present, consistent with the documentation.
- Empty fields in the NO_PROXY environment variable are now ignored.
- Fix problem where httplib.BadStatusLine would get raised if combining stream=True with
  contextlib.closing.
- Prevent bugs where we would attempt to return the same connection back to the connection
  pool twice when sending a Chunked body.
- Digest Auth support is now thread safe.
- Resolved several bugs involving chunked transfer encoding and response framing.
- Copy a PreparedRequest's CookieJar more reliably.
- Support bytearrays when passed as parameters in the "files" argument.
- Avoid data duplication when creating a request with "str", "bytes", or "bytearray"
  input to the "files" argument.
- "Connection: keep-alive" header is now sent automatically.
- Support for connect timeouts. Timeout now accepts a tuple (connect, read) which is
  used to set individual connect and read timeouts.
