How to use the geventhttpclient.useragent.CompatRequest function in geventhttpclient

from http.cookiejar import CookieJar

# Monkey patch geventhttpclient.useragent.CompatRequest so that Cookiejar works with Python >= 3.3
# More info: https://github.com/requests/requests/pull/871

# Workaround for AttributeError: 'CompatRequest' object has no attribute 'type' in Cookiejar
# https://github.com/locustio/locust/issues/1138
# Might allow secure cookies over non-secure connections but that is a minor concern in a load testing tool

# List of exceptions that can be raised by geventhttpclient when sending an HTTP request, 
# and that should result in a Locust failure
