[Bug 1470860] [NEW] requests functional API won't close sockets

[Roman Podoliaka]

Public bug reported:

Upstream issue: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1882


How to reproduce:


import requests

def make_request():
    resp = requests.get('http://google.com')
    resp.close()  # this appears to have no effect, even though the function exists

make_request()


This may result in possible FDs leakage and breaks OpenStack Nova unit tests (nova.tests.unit.test_wsgi.TestWSGIServerWithSSL.test_app_using_ipv6_and_ssl) when 14.04 version of python-requests is used.
