HTTPS request doesn't work when disable_ssl_certificate_validation = True #173

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

h = httplib2.Http(cache="C:\\Temp\\.cache")
h.disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True
out, err = h.request("https://mail.google.com") #uri doesn't matter
print(out['status'])

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get '200' printed to stdout, 
instead I get:
ValueError: check_hostname needs a SSL context with either CERT_OPTIONAL or 
CERT_REQUIRED

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
httplib2-0.7.1 (CPython 3.2.1 64-bit, Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit) 

Please provide any additional information below.
Changing (in HTTPSConnectionWithTimeout constructor):
http.client.HTTPSConnection.__init__(self, host, port=port,
    key_file=key_file, cert_file=cert_file, timeout=timeout, 
    context=context,
    check_hostname= True)

to:

http.client.HTTPSConnection.__init__(self, host, port=port,
    key_file=key_file, cert_file=cert_file, timeout=timeout, 
    context=context,
    check_hostname= disable_ssl_certificate_validation ^ True)

solves issue.(no errors, response as expected)

Just tried it on python 2, works fine.
It seems that the problem appears only in python 3 lib version.

I'm seeing the same problem using python 3.2.2 on Windows XP with httplib2-0.7.1

A little more info...

With a build of python 3.2.2 and httplib2 0.7.1 (installed via pip) on Ubuntu 
10.04.3 LTS

I get the same error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "usinghttplib2.py", line 28, in <module>
    response, content = http.request(url, "GET", headers=headers)
  File "/usr/local/python3/lib/python3.2/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1059, in request
    self.disable_ssl_certificate_validation)
  File "/usr/local/python3/lib/python3.2/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 775, in __init__
    check_hostname=True)
  File "/usr/local/python3/lib/python3.2/http/client.py", line 1086, in __init__
    raise ValueError("check_hostname needs a SSL context with "
ValueError: check_hostname needs a SSL context with either CERT_OPTIONAL or 
CERT_REQUIRED

using the same Ubuntu 10.04 with python 3.1.2 (stock lucid setup) the message 
is a bit different:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "usinghttplib2.py", line 28, in <module>
    response, content = http.request(url, "GET", headers=headers)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1059, in request
    self.disable_ssl_certificate_validation)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dist-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 775, in __init__
    check_hostname=True)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'context'

ith a build of python 3.2.2 and httplib2 0.7.1 (installed via pip) on Ubuntu 
10.04.3 LTS

Proposed fix to allow using disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True

add the following lines to httplib2.HTTPSConnectionWithTimeout

        check_hostname=True
        if disable_ssl_certificate_validation:
            check_hostname=False

and modify the call to http.client.HTTPSConnection to use the value for 
check_hostname

        http.client.HTTPSConnection.__init__(self, host, port=port, key_file=key_file,
                cert_file=cert_file, timeout=timeout, context=context, 
                check_hostname=check_hostname)

I'm not sure of the full ramifications, or if this is the right place to add 
the check.  I'm just getting my feet wet with python and don't know the proper 
patch submittal process yet.

An easy fix that worked for me was to copy file cacerts.txt from 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/ to 
/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-packages/httplib2/

Same issue on OS X 10.6.8 with Python 3.2 (r32:88452, Feb 20 2011, 11:12:31) 
and httplib2 0.7.2

Copying the cacerts.txt did not work for me.  The 
disable_ssl_certificate_validation.patch did.

I still have this problem with 0.7.2 on Arch Linux, it's quite annoying to 
distribute a copy of httplib2 when I could use the version provided by my 
distribution...

kvvier's solution worked for me (XP 64-bit, Python 3.3):

Changing (in HTTPSConnectionWithTimeout constructor):
http.client.HTTPSConnection.__init__(self, host, port=port,
    key_file=key_file, cert_file=cert_file, timeout=timeout, 
    context=context,
    check_hostname= True)

to:

http.client.HTTPSConnection.__init__(self, host, port=port,
    key_file=key_file, cert_file=cert_file, timeout=timeout, 
    context=context,
    check_hostname= disable_ssl_certificate_validation ^ True)

Thanks

This problem is 2 years old and a fix was found. Why is it still not in the 
upstream source?

I ran into this same issue on Mac OSX, Python 3.3. The fix seems to work.

Encounter the issue with 3.3.2.
Still in new status for the patch has side effect?

I branched the code and applied the fix:
https://bitbucket.org/markbaas/httplib2

Please submit the patch so I can remove the branch.

I'm also seeing this issue on Python 3.4 (OS X via homebrew)

Same problem here, on Python 3.4 Ubuntu 14.04. I've also confirmed that 
mark.baas's patch solves the problem.

This issue is now on github, further reports should probably happen there. 
Unfortunately a fix still has not been merged.
