requests-data: Data Scheme for Requests

'data' URL scheme support for the popular Requests HTTP Library.

Example:

from requests import Session
from requests_data.adapters import DataAdapter

s = Session()
s.mount('data://', DataAdapter())
r = s.get('data:text/plain,This%20is%20some%text.')
print(r.code)
print(r.content)

Caveats

Some versions of requests require a double-slash in any URL. Since data URLs don't require the slashes, you'll have to update to a version of requests containing the following patch:
