Add support for PyCurl #248

Open MarioVilas opened 10 years ago

MarioVilas commented 10 years ago

Requests uses urllib2, which in turn uses the built-in SSL facilities in Python. They are terribly outdated:

We should use PyCurl instead, whenever possible.

Since some plugins are using Requests directly, we should add an API specifically for accessing external resources and REST APIs outside the scope of the audit.

There is now an API for accessing external resources. However it's not necessarily easier to use than Requests, especially for web services.
