+urllib3 is a powerful, sanity-friendly HTTP client for Python. Much of the
+Python ecosystem already uses urllib3 and you should too. urllib3 brings many
+critical features that are missing from the Python standard libraries:
+- Thread safety.
+- Connection pooling.
+- Client-side SSL/TLS verification.
+- File uploads with multipart encoding.
+- Helpers for retrying requests and dealing with HTTP redirects.
+- Support for gzip and deflate encoding.
+- Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS.
+- 100% test coverage.
