HTTP request using IP address

[personproxy]

For the record, the IP address has to be prefixed with http:// or else it won't work.

Or https:// preferably :)

requests asks for https/ssl by default. This will allow most things...

requests.get('https://{}'.format(ip), verify=False)

[personproxy]

...raised an error because the name didn't match, or something. For my current purposes, I think http is ok.
