There's a few more items here that are needed for glance to be able to work
with requests (which we really really want).
1) Support for 100-expect-continue is probably going to be required in
glance as well as swift
2) Support for turning off tls/ssl compression (our streams are already
compressed)

I feel like we *must* have somebody here who is able and willing to add
these features to requests, which seems like the right approach.
