Comment (by jrf):

 @tillkruess Thanks for reporting these.

 Regarding the notices you reported in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55656#comment:54 comment:54],
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55656#comment:55 comment:55] and
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55656#comment:57 comment:57: these
 are all related to the external dependency Requests for which a new
 version is available which fixes all that.
 There is already a ticket open to upgrade the dependency - see #54504. You
 may want to subscribe to that ticket to track progress.

 Regarding the issue reported in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55656#comment:56 comment:56]:
 > rtrim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is
 deprecated
 wp-includes/formatting.php:2772

 This needs a backtrace to find out what is ''causing'' the notice. This
 should be fixed in the originating function call and without backtrace
 that cannot be determined.
