Ability to set a BaseUrl to a Session

[mohaidoss]

• [ ] Explain the use-case carefully. When using Session object, it makes sense to have the option to use a url to prefix all the requests calls, this avoid redundancy and better handling of concatenation between the url and the endpoint

  with requests.session(base_url='http://api.example.com') as s:
   resp = s.get('/v1/users')

• [ ] Who needs this? This was a recurrent issue on the requests package
• [ ] What pain does this resolve? The Session object is used to persist parameters/cookies/headers between different requests, and I find it makes sense to also persist the base_url, as it will simplify the code and the "process" of appending endpoint to url, by normalizing the handling of '/'
• [ ] Is this standard? I am not sure how to answer this, but for example:
  • Gruzzle a php HTTP Client works like that
  • req a Golang HTTP Client
