I am trying to access a URL via robobrowser in Python3 but I get an SSL Error. I don't know enough about HTML and SSL to be able to get very far here and google searches are proving to be not very helpful... I have tried a few other URLs and they work fine.

Here is my code:

from robobrowser import RoboBrowser

url = "https://www.tech-inspect.com.au"
# url = "https://oasis.curtin.edu.au/Auth/LogOn" <-- tested fine

browser = RoboBrowser(history=True)
browser.open(url)
form = browser.get_form(action='HardcatLogin')   # Tech Inspect form
# form = browser.get_form(action='/Auth/Logon')  # Curtin form

print(form)
print(str(browser.select))

The error is this:

Any help will be greatly appreciated

  • thanks for the suggestion I installed the `requests[security]` package and now the last line on the errors has change to this... `requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.tech-inspect.com.au', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: SysCallError(-1, 'Unexpected EOF')",),))` – Benjamin Cook Sep 02 '17 at 04:43

    BANG got it!!! just set the max_age=0 and verify=False `browser = RoboBrowser(history=True, max_age=0) browser.open(url, verify=False)` – Benjamin Cook Sep 02 '17 at 05:29
  • I take that back, it worked because I have Fiddler running in the background – Benjamin Cook Sep 02 '17 at 10:22
