Note that you can install `requests` using `pip` as shown in this post: [Slicer-Python Packages Use and Install](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/slicer-python-packages-use-and-install/984/9?u=lassoan). The only limitation is that on Windows you need to start Slicer as an admin, which may not be very user friendly.
