SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

[jchirschy]

Hello,

Since Calibre version 2.16 and later, Pocket Recipe doesn't work properly anymore. I've got an error. It seems as it is an SSL error as stated by this extract :

Python function terminated unexpectedly <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)> (Error Code: 1)

I've found this thread : http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254495#post3025740 that does not solve the problem.

Have you any idea to solve this issue ? Thanks for this wonderful recipe. JCH

Hello,

As a workaround that is not completely satisfying, adding this works for me : import ssl and in the Pocket class : ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

I can't make a PR with that suggestion, because it is not very safe, but it can help until finding a much better solution.

Can you send the complete code for a recipe with added lines?

Sure, here it is Pocket without SSL Recipe
