@irshad9998 Thanks for reporting! I'll look into it.

I have noticed we're using low level urllib. Should we use python Requests instead ? Requests lib might handle that for us.

Hey,man.I think i have the same problem as you,but i fixed it. You can change the code of linkfinder.py. Original Code:

sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)

...code

response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)

After the change of code:

# Support websites that force TLSv1.2

...code

try:
    sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)
    response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)
except:
    sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
    response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)

I swapped out requests originally because it gave very bad performance. (some problems with using it for very large textfiles in combination with file://)

@gh0stkey Thank you so much for the suggestion. Ill try it out and add it to LinkFinder.

Hi guys,

I am getting a similar error: urlopen error [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:727). How can I repair it?

Thanks!

@Syazvinski Can we have the error message, and (if you could) step to reproduce and the website you're testing?
