A collection of utility classes and functions that extend the python-requests HTTP library, including a streaming multipart/form-data encoder, SSL adapter, and cookie helpers. It provides features that don't belong in requests proper but are commonly needed when working with HTTP in Python.

Use cases

• stream large file uploads with multipart/form-data in requests
• force a specific SSL/TLS protocol version for HTTPS requests
• build a requests-style User-Agent header for my package
• prevent a requests session from storing cookies
• encode form fields and files for a POST request

When to choose

• you use python-requests and need streaming multipart uploads
• you need fine-grained control over SSL protocol versions in requests
• you want small HTTP conveniences without switching libraries

When to avoid

• you don't use python-requests
• you need a full-featured HTTP client framework
• you need async HTTP support
