bundled urllib3 fails with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'

[rinigus]

I am testing new HTTP server component of OSM Scout Server and was getting lots of problems reported by modRana while downloading tiles. Something similar to what's reported here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/3174 . By installing dev-python/urllib3-1.16 and moving away bundled urllib3, I was able to get rid of the errors. Maybe the bundled urllib3 could be upgraded to avoid this issue?

I'll give it a try in a day or two - should be relatively easy to do if it doesn't break anything in modRana (which is quite unlikely).

It's unfortunate Sailfish OS does not provide urrlib3 & requests (at least IIRC) from the official repositories. Both are widely used in Python applications and AFAIK are quite good at keeping a stable API.
