[HeyItsGilbert]

This upgrade of urllib3 from version 2.0.7 to 2.8.0 contains significant breaking changes and important security fixes.

Breaking Changes:

• API Removals: As of v2.1.0, the deprecated methods HTTPResponse.getheaders() and HTTPResponse.getheader() have been removed. Code must be updated to use the HTTPResponse.headers attribute instead (e.g., response.headers.get('Content-Type')). [3]
• HTTPS Proxy Behavior: Version 2.8.0 includes a security fix that changes how TLS is configured for HTTPS proxies. Proxy-specific TLS settings (proxy_ssl_context, proxy_assert_hostname) are now strictly enforced and are no longer overridden by the destination server's settings. Configurations that relied on the previous behavior will likely break. [2]

Other Notable Changes:

• Redirect Behavior: Version 2.0.7 changed how HTTP 303 "See Other" redirects are handled, now stripping the request body and changing the method to GET, which aligns with RFC standards but may alter existing application logic. [3]

Recommendation:

• Review API Usage: Search your codebase for usages of .getheaders() and .getheader() and refactor them to use the .headers dictionary.
• Verify Proxy Configurations: If you use HTTPS proxies, you must review your connection settings to ensure they are correctly configured using proxy_ssl_context and related parameters, as they will no longer inherit from the destination's context. [2]
