DEFAULT_CIPHERS is removed from urllib3 2.0.0: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/main/CHANGES.rst#200-2023-04-26

As a workaround, it's possible to downgrade urllib3 manually:

pipx runpip httpie install -U 'urllib3<2'

I'm facing same issue. Downgrading to latest urllib3 on 1.x range worked around

pip install --no-cache-dir urllib3==1.26.15

Fixed in v3.2.2. Thanks, everyone!
