   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 10 fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for python3-requests provides the following fix:

   python-requests was updated to 2.20.1.

   Update to version 2.20.1:

   * Fixed bug with unintended Authorization header stripping for redirects
     using default ports (http/80, https/443).

   Update to version 2.20.0:

   * Bugfixes

     + Content-Type header parsing is now case-insensitive (e.g. charset=utf8
       v Charset=utf8).
     + Fixed exception leak where certain redirect urls would raise uncaught
       urllib3 exceptions.
     + Requests removes Authorization header from requests redirected from
       https to http on the same hostname. (CVE-2018-18074)
     + should_bypass_proxies now handles URIs without hostnames (e.g. files).

   Update to version 2.19.1:

   * Fixed issue where status_codes.py’s init function failed trying to
     append to a __doc__ value of None.

   Update to version 2.19.0:

   * Improvements

     + Warn about possible slowdown with cryptography version < 1.3.4
     + Check host in proxy URL, before forwarding request to adapter.
     + Maintain fragments properly across redirects. (RFC7231 7.1.2)
     + Removed use of cgi module to expedite library load time.
     + Added support for SHA-256 and SHA-512 digest auth algorithms.
     + Minor performance improvement to Request.content.

   * Bugfixes

     + Parsing empty Link headers with parse_header_links() no longer return
       one bogus entry.
     + Fixed issue where loading the default certificate bundle from a zip
       archive would raise an IOError.
     + Fixed issue with unexpected ImportError on windows system which do not
       support winreg module.
     + DNS resolution in proxy bypass no longer includes the username and
       password in the request. This also fixes the issue of DNS queries
       failing on macOS.
     + Properly normalize adapter prefixes for url comparison.
     + Passing None as a file pointer to the files param no longer raises an
       exception.
     + Calling copy on a RequestsCookieJar will now preserve the cookie
       policy correctly.

   Update to version 2.18.4:

   * Improvements

     + Error messages for invalid headers now include the header name for
       easier debugging

   Update to version 2.18.3:

   * Improvements
     + Running $ python -m requests.help now includes the installed version
       of idna.
   * Bugfixes
     + Fixed issue where Requests would raise ConnectionError instead
       of SSLError when encountering SSL problems when using urllib3 v1.22.

   - Add ca-certificates (and ca-certificates-mozilla) to dependencies,
     otherwise https connections will fail.
