Fetch a file from a local url with Python requests?

Question

I am using Python\'s requests library in one method of my application. The body of the method looks like this:

def handle_remote_file(url, **kwargs):
    res

packages/urllib3/poolmanager.py pretty much explains it. Requests doesn't support local url.

pool_classes_by_scheme = {                                                        
    'http': HTTPConnectionPool,                                                   
    'https': HTTPSConnectionPool,                                              
}
