Add HTTP/S support via requests vs. urllib #52

Closed hectcastro closed 6 years ago

hectcastro commented 6 years ago

requests does a good job of taking care of issues that crop up over time (Python 2 vs. 3 compatibility, issues with HTTPS/SNI, taking advantage of libraries like urllib3, etc.). Although it means adding the first third-party dependency for omgeo, I think it is worth the overhead.
