Performing HTTP requests in Python using requests

Now that you've got your head and hands around making HTTP requests using the urllib package, you're going to figure out how to do the same using the higher-level requests library. You'll once again be pinging DataCamp servers for their "http://www.datacamp.com/teach/documentation" page.

Note that unlike in the previous exercises using urllib, you don't have to close the connection when using requests!
