Cookies are treated unusually in requests. To handle them exactly as requests does we would need to create httplib responses with headers and pass those back. This would be a significant change that is a little tricky. Instead use the available requests cookies handlers to merge the cookies into the responses returned from the adapter. Provide a way to create and preload a CookieJar that will be returned as part of responses. We also provide the dict interface that requests does. We don't really have a lot of choice here as these interfaces are supported by the cookie apis and we would need to actively work around things to remove that interface.

requests-mock
Intro
requests-mock provides a building block to stub out the HTTP requests portions of your testing code. You should checkout the docs for more information.
The Basics
Everything in requests eventually goes through an adapter to do the transport work. requests-mock creates a custom adatper that allows you to predefine responses when certain URIs are called.
There are then a number of methods provided to get the adapter used.
A simple example:
>>> import requests
>>> import requests_mock
>>> session = requests.Session()
>>> adapter = requests_mock.Adapter()
>>> session.mount('mock', adapter)
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com', text='data')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com')
>>> resp.status_code, resp.text
(200, 'data')Obviously having all URLs be mock:// prefixed isn't going to useful, so you can use requests_mock.mock to get the adapter into place.
As a context manager:
>>> with requests_mock.mock() as m:
... m.get('http://test.com', text='data')
... requests.get('http://test.com').text
...
'data'Or as a decorator:
>>> @requests_mock.mock()
... def test_func(m):
... m.get('http://test.com', text='data')
... return requests.get('http://test.com').text
...
>>> test_func()
'data'For more information checkout the docs.
