@jake-skipper Should we use URLLIB instead of requests?

This will reduce external dependencies since it is built into python.
Reading: https://medium.com/@technige/what-does-requests-offer-over-urllib3-in-2022-e6a38d9273d9

eg from a project I work on:

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen, URLError, HTTPError

def send_to_teams(message, webhookurl):
    teams_message = message
    req = Request(webhookurl, data=json.dumps(teams_message).encode("utf-8"),
                  headers={"content-type": "application/json"})
    try:
        response = urlopen(req)
        response.read()
    except HTTPError as e:
        print("Request failed : ", e.code, e.reason)
    except URLError as e:
        print("Server connection failed: ", e.reason, e.reason)

both pending PR for updating requests passed functional tests and were able to be merged. closing this as resolved.
