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
