python-requests and TLS

Question

Is it possible to make a request using the requests package using TLS?

when doing:

requests.get('someurl')

I'm getting:

SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:491: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

Answer 1

Not sure what url you are trying but I hope below helps.

In [35]: url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/mqlread?query=hello&key=xyz'
In [36]: requests.request("GET",url)
Out[36]: <Response [400]>
