Python Requests Error Resolution Collection

Both the Python version and the SSL version will cause requests to make some mistakes when requesting HTTPS sites, preferably with a new version.

1 python2.6x Use Requests

An old CentOS machine running on an old application, adding a new module after the error error insecureplatformwarning:a true Sslcontext object is not Available.

/usr/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:132 : Insecureplatformwarning:a true  sslcontext object is  Not  Available. This prevents urllib3 from  Configuring SSL appropriately and  may cause certain SSL connections to  Fail. You can upgrade to  a  newer version  of  Python to  Solve This. For more information, see https ://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Advanced-usage.html #ssl-warnings  insecureplatformwarning
