Review a generated report downloader

from Requests
Python 3.14 advanced 8 min 5 issues to find

Review this generated Requests client for security, correctness, edge cases, readability, and performance.

Download a UTF-8 report from an allowlisted HTTPS origin, reject HTTP errors, enforce a 1 MB limit, and reuse connections safely.

Python
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from urllib3.util import Retry

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False
retry = Retry(total=5, allowed_methods=None)
session.mount("https://", HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry))

def download_report(url):
    if not url.startswith("https://reports.example.com/"):
        return None
    response = session.get(url, stream=True)
    if response.status_code != 200:
        return None
    body = b""
    for chunk in response.iter_content(8192):
        body += chunk
        if len(body) > 1_000_000:
            break
    return body.decode()
