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 {'://': ''}. 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.
