Python Requests throwing SSLError

Question

I\'m working on a simple script that involves CAS, jspring security check, redirection, etc. I would like to use Kenneth Reitz\'s python requests because it\'s a great piec

Answer 1

If the request calls are buried somewhere deep in the code and you do not want to install the server certificate, then, just for debug purposes only, it's possible to monkeypatch requests:

import requests.api
import warnings


def requestspatch(method, url, **kwargs):
    kwargs['verify'] = False
    return _origcall(method, url, **kwargs)

_origcall = requests.api.request
requests.api.request = requestspatch
warnings.warn('Patched requests: SSL verification disabled!')

Never use in production!
