Certificate failing

[reagle]

Just encountered this today with no idea why. I don't recall changing anything. Might this be because of the LetsEncrypt story?

'''Setup new connection to "English wikipedia".'''
Connecting to "https://en.wikipedia.org" ..   >>>  failed: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:548)
  >>> ConnectionFailed exception for get_page: No valid connection available

Hmm.. all fine for me

Just tried it on my home Mac (with synchronized setup) and also experience it today. Selecting Meta Wiki, which is also configured has the same problem:

Connecting to "https://en.wikipedia.org" ..   >>>  failed: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:548)
  >>> ConnectionFailed exception for get_page: No valid connection available
'''Setup new connection to "Meta".'''
Connecting to "https://meta.wikimedia.org" ..   >>>  failed: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:548)
  >>> ConnectionFailed exception for get_page: No valid connection available

By configuring the following option off, I can access, but I wish I didn't have to.

"is_ssl_cert_verify": false,

Remember, I'm on an M1, but have been so since May, so I'm not sure what changed.

Can confirm this is happening for me too on Linux

EDIT: The "is_ssl_cert_verify": false, workaround does not work for me.

I'm not surprised this is happening to someone else, but I am about getting the error when "is_ssl_cert_verify": false. I toggled mine back to true, got the failure, toggled it back to false, and can proceed. Are you sure your setting is specified in the right place?

[biggestsonicfan]

No, apparently I was not. I was putting it in the root of the settings tree instead of under the specific wiki I was using. Seems to be a workaround for now, thanks!

FYI: I haven't used this in a bit and just checked to see if "is_ssl_cert_verify": true works yet; it does not.

Just checked again, and still not working.
