Removed requests and urllib3 from solnlib

The requests and urllib3 libraries has been removed from solnlib, so solnlib now depends on the requests and urllib3 libraries from the running environment. By default, Splunk delivers the above libraries and their version depends on the Splunk version. More information here.

IMPORTANT: urllib3 is available in Splunk v8.1.0 and later

Please note that if requests or urllib3 are installed in <Add-on>/lib e.g. as a dependency of another library, that version will be taken first. If requests or urllib3 is missing in the add-on’s lib directory, the version provided by Splunk will be used.

Custom Version of requests and urllib3

In case the Splunk’s requests or urllib3 version is not sufficient for you, you can deliver version you need by simply adding it to the requirements.txt or pyproject.toml file in your add-on.

Use solnlib outside the Splunk

Solnlib no longer provides requests and urllib3 so if you want to use solnlib outside the Splunk, please note that you will need to provide these libraries yourself in the environment where solnlib is used.
