Title:
  requests functional API won't close sockets

Status in requests package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in requests source package in Trusty:
  Triaged
Status in requests source package in Vivid:
  Triaged
Status in requests source package in Wily:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.

  
  The commit fixing the issue: https://github.com/ContinuousFunction/requests/commit/c0e927c52b8f049d6aa816360780580173871ac6
