As a developer, I would like to make an HTTP request from ren'py to my server, so that I can use the reply for an in-game feature.

I used this repo https://github.com/renpytom/renpy-requests and it works fine on v7.3.5, but not on releases after.

I am OK with using v7.3.5 but there are some great new features in 7.4 series that I would also like to use.
Is there a new way to import requests, or a compatible substitute library for http requests I can use?

That is probavbly because requests are already bundled with RenPy starting from 7.4.0.

Thanks! that is great news. I migrated my project to the latest, imported requests without adding any packages in my /game/ directory. And now everything works fine.

In the old repo it said "It supports http and https, with a huge caveat - the https support is not validated, which means that the request - and any passwords it contains - can be read by someone trying to intercept the connection."

Do you know if this issue still exists in the latest version?

The new version fixes that, so the requests that are made should be validated.
