requests-hardened is a library that overrides the default behaviors of the requests
library, and adds new security features.
The project is available on PyPI_:
.. code-block::
pip install requests-hardened
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 redirectsConfig.default_timeout = (2, 10) sets the default timeout value when no value or None is passedConfig.user_agent_override = None optional config to override User-Agent header. When set to None, requests library will set its default user-agent <https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/ee93fac6b2f715151f1aa9a1a06ddba9f7dcc59a/src/requests/utils.py#L886-L892>_.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 addressesip_filter_allow_loopback_ips whether or not to allow loopback IP addresses.. code-block:: python
from requests_hardened import Config, Manager
requests.SessionDefaultManager = Manager( Config( default_timeout=(2, 10), never_redirect=False, ip_filter_enable=True, ip_filter_allow_loopback_ips=False, user_agent_override=None ) )
requests.Session:resp = DefaultManager.send_request("GET", "https://example.com") print(resp)
requests.Session:with DefaultManager.get_session() as sess: sess.request("GET", "https://example.com") sess.request("POST", "https://example.com", json={"foo": "bar"})
