Always use requests

[jfroche]

always use requests
with requests:
we don't need to mess with urllib(1,2,3...)
we have a better ssl certificate verification

Also add option to ignore ssl certificate verification

Since Pepper is intended to be used as an importable lib, it was a conscious decision to not use requests. It also doesn't buy us much since we only make simple requests/responses to a single HTTP endpoint.

...With the notable exception of SSL handling. That is a tad tricky using only the stdlib. I think we'll need to inline the ssl_match_hostname lib backport (on PyPI) into Pepper in order to properly ignore invalid certs.

Once again thank you for slinging code! 👍 But the requests lib is a heavier dep than we need for SSL certs.

I understand, no problem
