Retrieving longform.org [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

Barty · 12-10-2021, 10:13 PM

Hello

I'm trying to write a recipe for longform.org

If I try to parse index with

Code:

soup = self.index_to_soup('http://longform.org')

I get

Code:

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)

When I run python3

Code:

>>> import requests
>>> data = requests.get('http://longform.org').text

everything is fine. But that doesn't work within a recipe b/c the requests library isn't included with calibre

I did the trick with opening the url with chrome and IE but that did not help

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
