bypass ssl cert verification in python

Question

even though i keep verify= false, i'm getting ssl error in python. Could you tell me how do I avoid it? But curl command is working with -k option.

import json
import requests

url = "https://<url>/context"
payload = {"some":"data"}
headers = {"Authorization": "Basic:xxxxxxxxxx"}

response = requests.post(url, verify=False, 
data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

print(response)

error:

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:769: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html InsecureRequestWarning)

Answer 1

It is just a warning. You can disable these warnings.

from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
