When sending request with small or no payload, it is simpler and
possibly more efficient to use the high level HTTPSConnection.request(),
instead of the lower level APIs.

The only reason to use the lower level APIs is to avoid copying the
payload, or on python 2, to use a bigger buffer size when streaming a
file-like object.
