This is probably a misunderstanding.
Request's history don't store in the "module".They store in two places:

1) In Request object (for current request, so they would be destroyеd with it);
2) In HTTPConnection object  (while request redirects). In HTTPConnection
history stores only for current served Request. Even if You use the
same HTTPConnection
for many Requests, they (HTTPConnection) clear history every time when
new Request starts.

# from httplib HTTPConnection.putrequest patched
str = '%s %s %s' % (method, url, self._http_vsn_str)
self._output(str)
self.sended_hdrs = [str] <<< previous history die here

___Full history for all processed request didn't not stored in any place____.
