Change the MyTardis client class (MyTardisRESTFactory) so that it creates a requests
Session
object on construction, and uses this session for all of its requests. This speeds up requests, as otherwise, usng the defaultrequests.request(...)
, a new HTTP connection is created every time a request is made.It's worth noting that the session object is not just for persisting the HTTP connection; it also persists cookies etc. It seems unlikely this would cause problems, and I haven't seen any.
Documentation for the
Session
object can be found here:https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/
