Provides an adapter for requests that won't allow connections to "unsafe" networks.

Project description

requests-safe

This project provides an HTTPAdapter for the Requests library that will disallow connections to networks that are considered unsafe to connect to.

The primary use case is to safely be able to retrieve items from a user provided URL without potentially requesting internal or secret resources within ones own network.

Usage

It’s very simple to use this library, install it as part of your project and then the following code will protect all requests against accidentally retrieving something from an IP address in the ranges listed below!

import requests_safe
from requests import Session

with Session() as s:
    requests_safe.apply(s)

    s.get("https://google.com/")

There is unfortunately no global way to apply this, so using requests.get() and friends directly will not be protected by default.
