Python 3 urllib ignore SSL certificate verification

Python 3 urllib ignore SSL certificate verification

When using the urllib library in Python 3 to make HTTP requests and you want to ignore SSL certificate verification (usually not recommended for security reasons), you can achieve this by using the ssl library to create a context that disables certificate verification and then passing this context to the urlopen() function. Here's how you can do it:

import urllib.request import ssl # Create an SSL context that doesn't verify certificates ssl_context = ssl._create_unverified_context() # URL you want to request url = 'https://example.com' # Open the URL using the custom SSL context response = urllib.request.urlopen(url, context=ssl_context) # Read and print the response content content = response.read().decode('utf-8') print(content)

Keep in mind that ignoring SSL certificate verification can expose you to security risks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks. It's generally recommended to properly configure SSL certificates to ensure secure communication. If you are working with a self-signed certificate or a certificate from a trusted source, it's better to add the certificate to your system's trust store or use a custom context with proper certificate verification.
