  Description     : HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post, and more.

urllib3 supports features left out of urllib and urllib2 libraries.

 * Re-use the same socket connection for multiple requests (HTTPConnectionPool
   and HTTPSConnectionPool) (with optional client-side certificate
   verification).
 * File posting (encode_multipart_formdata).
 * Built-in redirection and retries (optional).
 * Supports gzip and deflate decoding.
 * Thread-safe and sanity-safe.
 * Small and easy to understand codebase perfect for extending and
   building upon.

urllib3 will be managed managing it under the umbrella of the DPMT.
