Description:

requestshardened 1.0.0b4

requests-hardened is a library that overrides the default behaviors of the requests
library, and adds new security features.

Installation
The project is available on PyPI:
pip install requests-hardened


Features

Overrides of Defaults
This library allows to override some default values from the requests library
that can have a security impact:

Config.never_redirect = False always reject HTTP redirects
Config.default_timeout = (2, 10) sets the default timeout value when no value or None is passed
Config.user_agent_override = None optional config to override User-Agent header. When set to None, requests library will set its default user-agent.



SSRF Filters
A SSRF IP filter can be used to reject HTTP(S) requests targeting private and loopback
IP addresses.
Settings:

Config.ip_filter_enable whether or not to filter the IP addresses
ip_filter_allow_loopback_ips whether or not to allow loopback IP addresses




Example Usage
from requests_hardened import Config, Manager

# Creates a global "manager" that can be used to create ``requests.Session``
# objects with hardening in place.
DefaultManager = Manager(
Config(
default_timeout=(2, 10),
never_redirect=False,
ip_filter_enable=True,
ip_filter_allow_loopback_ips=False,
user_agent_override=None
)
)

# Sends an HTTP request without re-using ``requests.Session``:
resp = DefaultManager.send_request("GET", "https://example.com")
print(resp)

# Sends HTTP requests with reusable ``requests.Session``:
with DefaultManager.get_session() as sess:
sess.request("GET", "https://example.com")
sess.request("POST", "https://example.com", json={"foo": "bar"})
