Comment (by dfavor):

 Upstream developer has basically said they won't fix this.

 Very problematic, because the only symptom of this problem is WordPress
 slows to a crawl.

 And clients think '''WordPress is slow''' which is incorrect. What is slow
 is some site being referenced + error message provide insufficient
 information to debug problem.

 Likely fix is for someone in WordPress development to fork the Requests
 project + fix this bug + use the forked code in WordPress.

 Or switch back to pre-Requests library code.

 Both solutions are ugly + both solutions are better than having WordPress
 run slow due to an underlying library a developer refuses to fix.
