Port to python-requests

Registered by Chmouel Boudjnah

For a number of reasons most of OpenStack projects are using now python-requests the main advantages :

- security: to be able to do ssl verification.
- string encoding: It is more robust with UTF-8.
- easiness: it's arguably easier to deal with python-requests that pure httplib/httplib2 calls.
