          If the headers parameter does not provide an 'User-Agent' key, one will
          be added automatically following the convention:
  
              py3status/<version> <per session random uuid>
  
          :param url: url to request eg `http://example.com`
          :param params: extra query string parameters as a dict
          :param data: POST data as a dict.  If this is not supplied the GET method will be used
          :param headers: http headers to be added to the request as a dict
          :param timeout: timeout for the request in seconds
          :param auth: authentication info as tuple `(username, password)`
          :param cookiejar: an object of a CookieJar subclass
  
          :returns: HttpResponse
