client log in fails with plugin request code, but works with requests module

[nkuttler]

Version 5.3.8 kept throwing the exception below at me while trying to log in. At first I thought it was the API key as I had reinstalled the system recently, but no, that didn't fix this error either. After digging through the code and looking at the request code in particular I simply tried to use requests, see my code in 5f842f1. That "fixes" the login problem for me, but all other requests in the plugin fail with the same exception.
