Using requests version 2.6.2 prevents ChatExchange from logging in with 'Connection aborted.' about chatexchange

[Manishearth]

@ProgramFOX @hichris1234 Any idea why this happens?

[thomas-daniels]

@Manishearth All I know is that the 2.6 branch came out with a security fix (perhaps other changes too, but not aware of them). Any chance you make a HTTP request at some point where HTTPS is expected?

[Manishearth]

This works fine for me. I tried a virtualenv with requests 2.6.2 and it worked.(Ubuntu, python2.7)

[Manishearth]

Can someone repro?

[csnardi]

Possibly a Windows only thing? ProgramFOX and Andy are using Windows, I believe.

[thomas-daniels]

@Manishearth No, same error in a virtualenv.

@hichris1234 I'm testing this on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS AWS instance.

[Manishearth]

Hmm. Perhaps I screwed up the virtualenv

[Manishearth]

Nope. Still works. Hmm.

[thomas-daniels]

Are there any HTTPS- or SSL-related packages you have installed that might be necessary for this?

[Manishearth]

I used a clean venv.

I also used a clean venv to get that stack trace in the original problem.

[Manishearth]

@AWegnerGitHub How did you install the new requests module? By tweaking the setup file?

[AWegnerGitHub]

pip install requests installed 2.6.2. When I figured out that was the issue, I reverted to 2.5.3 using pip install requests==2.5.3. I selected that version because that is what SmokeDetector uses (based on this )

[Manishearth]

Okay.

Setup.py specifies a different version btw, though when you submodule ChatExchange that doesn't get checked.

Hm.

[thomas-daniels]

Good news! ChatExchange works fine again with the newest version, 2.7.0.

[Manishearth]

O.o

Release notes from 2.7.0:

• Updated urllib3 to 1.10.4, resolving several bugs involving chunked transfer encoding and response framing.
