Ok, being spelled like that, it effectively opened road for [s]bloating up[/s] adding more features to "urequests". By now, it response header parsing by default (of course, can be disabled or overridden to save memory), processes redirects and works around some issues of non-compliant servers.
But there's pressure to add more and more [s]bloat[/s] features. Before giving up to that, I decided to snapshot the latest version of urequests, 0.8, as a new module uurequests (micro-urequests):
https://pypi.org/project/micropython-uurequests/ . It may be useful to users of esp8266 and other low-memory systems.
To remind, the master micropython-lib repository is
