SSLContext not working in macos with requests library

[jmoraleda]

I am working on a framework so I am trying to use SSLContext instead of inject_into_ssl per the documentation and the user guide.

I am using requests. I have found instructions on how to inject SSLContext into requests at https://stackoverflow.com/a/78265028. In particular the code snippet:

import truststore
import requests
import ssl
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter

class TruststoreAdapter(HTTPAdapter):
    def init_poolmanager(self, connections, maxsize, block=False):
        ctx = truststore.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_CLIENT)
        return super().init_poolmanager(connections, maxsize, block, ssl_context=ctx)

s = requests.Session()
s.mount("https://", TruststoreAdapter())
r = s.get("https://localhost:4443/", verify=True)
print(r) # 200 OK

This code works well in Linux and Windows. But on Mac I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1006)

I am certain my custom root certificate is properly installed in Mac, because if I use inject_into_ssl instead of SSLContext:

import truststore
import requests

truststore.inject_into_ssl()

s = requests.Session()
r = s.get("https://localhost:4443/", verify=True)
print(r) # 200 OK

then everything works.

@jmoraleda Are you able to test the patch in #164 to confirm that fixes your issue? Thanks for using the library.

[jmoraleda]

Thank you @sethmlarson. I just tested #164 and it does not fix this issue.

But I do not find this result surprising, since #164 patches inject_into_ssl, which was already working for me. My problem is when trying to inject SSLContext into requests. (Please see description above for details)
