I would retrieve some information from an ABB G13 gateway that offer a RESTful JSON API. API is hosted by the gateway via https endpoint. Basic authentication mechanism is used for authentication. However all traffic goes through SSL layers. On linux with command: curl -s -k -X GET -u userassword https://host/meters/a_serial/power All goes well! I'm trying to write a script for windows in Python 2.7.10 with Requests 2.8.1 and with this code: import requests requests.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power', auth=('user', 'password')) I have this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/mzilio/PycharmProjects/pwrgtw/test.py", line 20, in <module> requests.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power', auth=('user', 'password')) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 69, in get return request('get', url, params=params, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 50, in request response = session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 468, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 576, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 433, in send raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590) I've searched for a solution and I've tried to fix with this code: import requests from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter from requests.packages.urllib3.poolmanager import PoolManager import ssl class MyAdapter(HTTPAdapter): def init_poolmanager(self, connections, maxsize, block=False): self.poolmanager = PoolManager(num_pools=connections, maxsize=maxsize, block=block, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1) s = requests.Session() s.mount('https://', MyAdapter()) s.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power') But it doesn't work for me cause I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/mzilio/PycharmProjects/pwrgtw/test.py", line 16, in <module> s.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power') File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 480, in get return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 468, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 576, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 433, in send raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590) I'm stuck on this problem. Could someone help me? Thanks! Continue reading...
