vcrpy 1.11.1 doesn't work with requests 2.13 - fails silently

[farialima]

... but it works with requests 2.18.4 (I haven't tried intermediate versions)

vcrpy 1.11, however, works with requests 2.13.

See below for a log that show the cases that work and don't work.
test case:

import vcr
import urllib2
import requests
import logging

logging.basicConfig()
vcr_log = logging.getLogger("vcr")
vcr_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

with vcr.use_cassette('fixtures/urllib2.yaml'):
    response = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.iana.org/domains/reserved').read()
    assert 'Example domains' in response


with vcr.use_cassette('fixtures/requests.yaml'):
    response = requests.get('http://www.iana.org/domains/reserved').text
    assert 'Example domains' in response

Output:

@neozenith I noticed you bulk closed a lot of issues right now. It might be worth adding a note to each of them explaining why, eg:

"This issue has had no activity in x days etc etc..."

[neozenith]

There are a few that I'm leaving open for a week and have commented on those.
I'm about to do the rounds of commenting on the bulk closed ones.

Labelled them as stale to make it easier to work through commenting on them all.

[neozenith]

A lot of changes have happened to VCRpy since this ticket was opened. As this ticket has become stale and we have a lot of old tickets that need to be groomed, I'm closing this for now to make it easier to see what is still relevant.

However if it is still needed, please feel free to re-open or create a new ticket.

Thanks! 🙏
