pocket articles

abdabi · 01-25-2016, 03:02 PM

Since yesterday I receive the following error loading pocket articles (from getpocket.com):

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)>

I already tried to monkeypatch the python ssl module to disable all ssl verification, like this:

import ssl
ssl.create_default_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

the issue remains... any idea?

Install themissing ssl root certificates in your operating system

update: I followed the instuctions here

http://www.sqlservermart.com/HowTo/W...rtificate.aspx

to import the missing ssl certificate, which I exported from Firefox before. The corresponding sll certificate is now placed in the trusted root folder, but I receive the same error message as before

ps: thanks for your advice

I assume you are on some variant of linux, in which case installing ssl certificates involves more than just copying the file in, you typically have to run some distro dependent command like update-ca-certificates or something like that.

I moved my portable version of calibre to my netbook (win7 --> win8). Now I receive the same problem again. I assume pocket has changed something.

Update: I tried now an older portable version of calibre (2.0) and it works like a charm!
