SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER ON PYTHON REQUEST

Python version: 3.9.1

I trying to write bot that send requests and it work perfectly fine, the only issue that i have is when i trying to use web debugging programs such as Charles 4.6.1 or Fiddler Everywhere. When I open it to see bot traffic and response form server it crash showing me this error:

(Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1124)')))

I used to have this issue and I was able to fix it by simply adding verify=False to my request, but right now it does not work.

Solution

  • I had the same problem. It's a bug in urllib3. You have to specify your proxy in the request, and change the 'https' value to 'http'.

    My example:

    proxies = {'https': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'}
request = r.get('https://www.example.net', verify=False, proxies=proxies)
