在Windows 7 64位上验证Python中的SSL证书

Question

I need help in verifying SSL certificate within the company's firewall when trying to access the cloud hosted application https://www.quickbase.com/ . The pyquickbase module works perfectly when I run the script from home. Here is my code and traceback for your reference.

    ### Python script to log into database
    import quickbase
    client = quickbase.Client(username='JohnDoe',password='OpenQB', database='qb_database',
                              apptoken='xxxdfdafd', base_url="https://www.quickbase.com")

    response = client.list_db_pages(database='qb_database')
    print(response)
    ###

Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "D:\Users\User123\Documents\pyfund\Quickbase\QB_api_check.py", line 3, in <module>

Answer 1

Ok, I tried setting up the proxy with OS environment variable and that did not work since the requests.get required that I pass the proxy within the call. I created a proxy Dict as

proxyDict = { 
              "http"  : http_proxy, 
              "https" : https_proxy, 
              "ftp"   : ftp_proxy
            }

The https one was the one that was required in order to receive SSL certificate. I will now have to modify the quickbase and pybase modules that I am using to explicitly include the proxies in the calls.
