title: Python-Requests close http connection
body: <p>I was wondering, how do you close a connection with Requests (python-requests.org)?</p>
  <p>With <code>httplib</code> it's <code>HTTPConnection.close()</code>, but how do I do the same with Requests?</p>
  <p>Code:</p>
  <pre><code>r = requests.post(&quot;https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json&quot;, data={'track':toTrack}, auth=('username', 'passwd'))
  for line in r.iter_lines():
      if line:
          self.mongo['db'].tweets.insert(json.loads(line))
  </code></pre>
