SSL issue

[ghost]

I encountered the following error when attempting to run the script against a website with a self-signed or expired certificate (redacted the host ip) :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 112, in post

Fixed via adding verify=false on line 1198

r = requests.post(url=url, headers=gen_headers, data=body, verify=False)

A better fix wouldve been to do a try: except, so if the error message is thrown you Pass over the request entirely, simply changing verify=false is a bad idea as it will still spam the failing handshakes, both noisy, and inefficient.
