Performance: use requests.Session() to reduce tcp and ssl handshake overhead.

[Matthew-Jenkins]

sess = requests.Session()
sess.get()

will have far better performance and use less bandwidth due to not having to repeat tcp handshake and ssl handshakes. My tests show about twice as fast.

See 2 examples:
(venv) 15645(0811)mattjenkins@DatapriseMBP:Automox$ cat test.py test2.py
import requests

for x in range(1,100):
if (result := requests.get('https://www.google.com')):
pass
else:
print(False)
import requests

sess = requests.Session()
for x in range(1,100):
if (result := sess.get('https://www.google.com')):
pass
else:
print(False)
