chore(deps): bump niquests from 3.18.8 to 3.19.0

[dependabot]

Bumps niquests from 3.18.8 to 3.19.0.

Release notes

Sourced from niquests's releases.

Version 3.19.0

3.19.0 (2026-06-01)

Added

• Session and AsyncSession constructors now accept params, cookies, proxies, verify and cert so that per-request defaults can be configured at initialization, consistently with headers and auth. (#400) Ease forward the migration from httpx for interested users.
• A plain http.cookiejar.CookieJar (or a mapping) provided as cookies is now coerced into a RequestsCookieJar. The Session/AsyncSession constructor always coerces (so session.cookies.set(...) works), while at the request level an unknown CookieJar subclass (e.g. MozillaCookieJar or any file-backed/custom jar) is left untouched to preserve its behavior. (#401, #404)
• Support for the alternative TLS backend BoringSSL via the utls extra. Niquests now offer a first-class TLS browser impersonation without ever-changing your http client. It is automatically done (e.g. negotiated) once the extra is installed. You will need to keep it regularly updated so that you have the latest TLS specs of modern browsers.
• Session and AsyncSession constructors now accept allow_incoming_cookies (defaults to True). Set it to False to ignore every cookie sent by the remote peer (via Set-Cookie) so that nothing is merged into the session jar, including cookies carried across redirect hops. Outgoing cookies you set yourself are still emitted.
• Session.request/AsyncSession.request (and the verb shortcuts) now accept an override_scheme keyword argument. When a base_url is set on the Session, it override the scheme of the final (merged) URL just before the adapter is picked, so you can target a different scheme (e.g. sse, ws/wss, optionally with an implementation suffix like sse+unix) without retyping the full URL. (#325)

Changed

• The cookies attribute of Session, AsyncSession and Response is now always typed as RequestsCookieJar instead of RequestsCookieJar | CookieJar. This restores the ergonomic mapping interface (e.g. session.cookies.set(...)) when using static type checkers. (#401, #404)

  This is not a runtime breaking change: reading .cookies is unchanged, and a native CookieJar is still accepted everywhere it is passed as an argument (it is coerced when relevant). We do, however, acknowledge a static-typing trade-off: assigning a custom/non-RequestsCookieJar jar directly to the attribute (e.g. session.cookies = MozillaCookieJar(...)) now makes type checkers such as mypy complain, since the attribute is annotated as RequestsCookieJar. The assignment keeps working at runtime; if you rely on it, add a # type: ignore. We chose narrowing on purpose the predominant path is that RequestsCookieJar is expected while subclasses (custom implementation) are a niche usage.

• CaseInsensitiveDict is now generic over its key and value types (CaseInsensitiveDict[_KT, _VT], mirroring dict/Mapping), and Response.headers/Response.trailers are typed as CaseInsensitiveDict[str, str]. Reading a response header (e.g. response.headers["Content-Type"]) now yields str instead of str | bytes, removing the need for a cast/assert to use the headers as a plain string mapping with static type checkers. (#401)

  This is purely a typing improvement with no runtime change: the class still subclasses collections.abc.MutableMapping (it merely also gains typing.Generic), so the Python 3.7 floor and the existing behavior are preserved, and no new dependency is introduced. Unsubscripted CaseInsensitiveDict keeps its historical str | bytes key/value types, so existing annotations are unaffected.
