While certificate verification + can be disabled via "cert_reqs = 'CERT_NONE'", it's highly recommended to + leave it on. + + Various consumers of net/py-urllib3 already have implemented routines that + either explicitly enable or disable HTTPS certificate verification (e.g. + via configuration settings, CLI arguments, etc.). + + Yet it may happen that there are still some consumers which don't + explicitly enable/disable certificate verification for HTTPS connections + which could then lead to errors (as is often the case with self-signed + certificates). + + In case of an error one should try first to temporarily disable + certificate verification of the problematic urllib3 consumer to see if + this approach will remedy the issue. + 20191125: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org |
