Hi Shiva,

there is no python core lib yet, but I often pull the
Boundles/Alessandro/Luigi's one from here:

https://github.com/boundlessgeo/lib-qgis-commons/blob/master/qgiscommons2/network/networkaccessmanager.py

For now I copy it in my plugins, but I'm very much in favour of adding
some python core/common libs to QGIS so everybody uses the same/right
way of doing http(s) stuff (meaning: using the proxy from settings etc)

Regards,
