🚀 urllib3 is fundraising for HTTP/2 support

urllib3 is raising ~$40,000 USD to release HTTP/2 support and ensure long-term sustainable maintenance of the project after a sharp decline in financial support. If your company or organization uses Python and would benefit from HTTP/2 support in Requests, pip, cloud SDKs, and thousands of other projects please consider contributing financially to ensure HTTP/2 support is developed sustainably and maintained for the long-haul.

Thank you for your support.

Security

Addressed high-severity security issues. Impact was limited to specific use cases detailed in the accompanying advisories; overall user exposure was estimated to be marginal.

• Decompression-bomb safeguards of the streaming API were bypassed:

• When HTTPResponse.drain_conn() was called after the response had been read and decompressed partially. (Reported by @Cycloctane)

• During the second HTTPResponse.read(amt=N) or HTTPResponse.stream(amt=N) call when the response was decompressed using the official Brotli library. (Reported by @kimkou2024)

See GHSA-mf9v-mfxr-j63j for details.

• HTTP pools created using ProxyManager.connection_from_url did not strip sensitive headers specified in Retry.remove_headers_on_redirect when redirecting to a different host. (GHSA-qccp-gfcp-xxvc reported by @christos-spearbit)

Deprecations and Removals

• Used FutureWarning instead of DeprecationWarning for better visibility of existing deprecation notices. Rescheduled the removal of deprecated features to version 3.0. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3764)
• Removed support for end-of-life Python 3.9. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3720)
• Removed support for end-of-life PyPy3.10. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/4979)
• Bumped the minimum supported pyOpenSSL version to 19.0.0. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3777)

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where HTTPResponse.read(amt=None) was ignoring decompressed data buffered from previous partial reads. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3636)
• Fixed a bug where HTTPResponse.read() could cache only part of the response after a partial read when cache_content=True. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/4967)
• Fixed HTTPResponse.stream() and HTTPResponse.read_chunked() to handle amt=0. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3793)
• Updated _TYPE_BODY type alias to include missing Iterable[str], matching the documented and runtime behavior of chunked request bodies. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3798)
• Fixed LocationParseError when paths resembling schemeless URIs were passed to HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen(). (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3352)
• Fixed BaseHTTPResponse.readinto() type annotation to accept memoryview in addition to bytearray, matching the io.RawIOBase.readinto contract and enabling use with io.BufferedReader without type errors. (https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3764)
