2.8.0 (2026-09-15)
==================
Security
Fixed the following security issues:
The TLS configuration for HTTPS proxies could be ignored or overridden.
(High severity, GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77)
HTTPResponse.stream() and read_chunked() could buffer a chunk-size line of
unbounded length in memory. (High severity, GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw)
Chunked Deflate streaming could enter an infinite loop. (Medium severity,
GHSA-gh4c-6fx4-qh6g)
Caution!
urllib3 2.8.0 fixes HTTPS proxy TLS configuration being ignored or overridden
by destination settings. Configurations relying on that behavior may require
changes.
Configure proxy CA certificates and client certificates in proxy_ssl_context,
and proxy identity checks with proxy_assert_hostname or
proxy_assert_fingerprint. Destination client certificates and identity
overrides no longer apply to HTTPS forwarding proxy connections.
Deprecations & Removals
Deprecated using an empty collection as the Retry option allowed_methods to
retry any verb. (#5044)
Features
Added Url.auth_decoded and Url.auth_decoded_joined convenience properties
to the result of parse_url(). (#4945)
Added basic_auth_encoding and proxy_basic_auth_encoding parameters to
urllib3.util.make_headers(). (#5092)
Bugfixes
Fixed response header handling to replace obsolete folded header lines
(obs-fold) with spaces in accordance with RFC 9112, preventing raw CRLF
sequences from appearing in header values such as Set-Cookie. (#1362)
Fixed usage of proxy_ssl_context with ProxyManager when
use_forwarding_for_https=True. Passing ssl_context instead of proxy_ssl_context
for HTTPS proxies in this configuration now emits a FutureWarning and will
raise an error in v3.0. (#2577)
Changed behavior of the default ConnectionPool.pool initialization.
LifoQueue is now resolved from the queue module after the ConnectionPool is
instantiated instead of using the default cached QueueCls class property. This
is done because sometimes the queue.LifoQueue is monkey-patched late in the
program, such as by gevent. (#3289)
Raised UnrewindableBodyError instead of ValueError when retrying a request
whose body had tell() but not seek(). (#3779)
Decoded percent-encoded SOCKS proxy credentials before authenticating with
the proxy server. (#3785)
Fixed HTTPResponse.drain_conn() to discard unread response data in 64 KiB
chunks (same as the default amt when doing HTTPResponse.stream(...)). (#5019)
Fixed is_ipaddress() to detect non-standard IPv4 forms accepted by
socket.connect, such as hex (0x7f000001), octal (0177.0.0.1), and decimal
integers (2130706433), ensuring SSL certificate verification uses the correct
mode for these addresses. (#5029)
Fixed HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen raising a misleading FullPoolError instead
of ValueError when called with an invalid timeout argument on a pool created
with block=True. (#5059)
Fixed port-zero handling to preserve explicit :0 values instead of
substituting the default ports 80 or 443 in URL parsing, pool selection, proxy
configuration, connection_from_url(), and HTTP/2 request authority. (#5071,
#5101)
Fixed a bug where PoolManager passed the assert_hostname and
assert_fingerprint parameters to HTTP connection pools. (#5077)
Fixed HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen() and HTTP proxy forwarding to strip URL
fragments from absolute request targets before sending requests. (#5079)
Added safeguards to the proxy tunneling code to prevent potential security
issues when handling invalid characters in the proxy host and HTTP headers.
This change affects users of Python 3.10, Python 3.11, and Python 3.12 when the
standard library does not contain the fix; those on newer Python versions
should upgrade to 3.13.14+ or 3.14.5+ to get the same security fixes. (#5091)
Fixed HTTPSConnection.connect() overriding ProxyConfig.ssl_context's
certificate policy and proxy identity checks with the target connection's TLS
settings when forwarding through an HTTPS proxy.
HTTPSConnection no longer applies target SNI, assertions, or client
credentials to forwarding proxy handshakes and continues to use its ssl_context
as a fallback when an HTTPS proxy forwards an HTTP target. (#5093)
Fixed URL parsing to more strictly enforce RFC 3986 host syntax, rejecting
invalid host input such as raw spaces and control characters, malformed
percent-encodings, and percent-encoded control characters in HTTP(S) hosts and
IPv6 zone identifiers, including proxy CONNECT tunnel targets. Host
normalization now also follows RFC 3986 normalization rules for percent-encoded
octets by decoding percent-encoded unreserved characters and uppercasing the
hexadecimal digits of retained percent-encoded octets. (#5095)
Fixed an AttributeError on Python built with OpenSSL 4+, where
ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1 no longer exists. (#5097)
Fixed urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl to use cryptography APIs when reading a
certificate subject and loading encrypted private keys, avoiding
DeprecationWarning raised by pyOpenSSL 26.3.0+. (#5103)
Fixed handling of HTTP 303 redirects for requests with chunked or file-like
bodies. (#5161)
Fixed assert_fingerprint() to raise SSLError instead of binascii.Error when
a fingerprint has a supported length but contains non-hexadecimal characters.
(#5211)
Misc
Added a test dependency group containing the minimum dependencies needed to
run the test suite, intended for downstream packagers. The dev-base and mypy
groups now include this new group via include-group, removing duplication.
(#3594)
Fixed test failures with pytest >= 9.1. (#5094)
Enabled JSPI tests with Firefox in the Emscripten test suite. (#5166)
Improved streamed response decoding performance. (#5209)
Fixed flaky tests. (#5232, #5234, #5239)
