InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made in Robot Framework.

Question

Hi I'm Using Robot Framework.

I'm trying to send a Get Request but I get the following warning

C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urllib3-1.21.1-py2.7.egg\urllib3\connectionpool.py:852: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings InsecureRequestWarning)

Has anyone had this problem? As I've searched for a solution one of the advice was to disable the warning, but how to do it?

Thanks in Advance,

It is only a Warning, it is safe to ignore (unless security is really important). You could try `set PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY=0` or `set PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore:InsecureRequestWarning` — Helio, Jul 18 '17 at 13:55
Hi Helio, Can you please specify, how do I do it? I mean where do I set the PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY to 0? — Narek Hakobyan, Jul 18 '17 at 14:30

The following test case runs perfectly, without showing the warning. Please note the option verify=true on the Create Session keyword.

Create Session along with verify=true, by default it's verify=false

Create Session test_session http://www.example.com **verify=true**
