The equivalent of curl code in requests

Question

I have the following curl, which I need it to work from python using the requests package.

curl -s -H 'Accept: application/xml' 'https://xyz.com'

I tried the following with no success. Can you see what am I doing wrong here?

headers = {'Accept': 'application/xml'} 
print requests.get("https://xyz.com", headers=headers)

After some seconds I get this:

print requests.get("https://xyz.com", headers=headers)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 55, in get
return request('get', url, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 44, in request
return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 383, in request
resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 486, in send
r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 389, in send
raise SSLError(e)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

Fix: The calls weren't equivalent because the curl call was http, whereas the requests call was https.

"no success" doesn't really say much - please elaborate on what didn't work! — codeling, Jan 14 '14 at 14:25

Just noticed that the url wasn't https, but just http. Any other idea? — Oliver, Jan 14 '14 at 14:57
That's where the mess up was. The curl call was http, whereas the requests was https. I should delete this question. Thanks a lot. — Oliver, Jan 14 '14 at 15:00
sometimes just talking about a problem can make oneself realize the problem. Glad to be of service as [rubber duck](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging) ;) — codeling, Jan 14 '14 at 15:05

You can add the verify argument for SSL verification like this:

requests.get("https://xyz.com", headers=headers, verify=True)

Hope this will help ;)
