I'm trying to connect to a remote couchDB server through python-cloudant, this server uses an SSL certificate. I can't get access to the server as I think it fails to capture the certificate on my macOS.
from cloudant.client import Cloudant
from cloudant.client import CouchDB
client = CouchDB('myuser', 'mypassword', url='https://xxx.xx.xxx.xx', connect=True)
session = client.session()
print('Username: {0}'.format(session['userCtx']['name']))
print('Databases: {0}'.format(client.all_dbs()))
# Disconnect from the server
client.disconnect()
I get this error :
HTTPError Traceback (most recent call last)

When I use the code below to see if I can establish a connection to the server, it returns a [200] response, which means it can access it:
r = requests.get('https://xxx.xx.xxx.x', verify='catrust/',cert=('client01.crt', 'client01.key'))
Note that I have specified here the 'verify' & 'cert' arguments.
My guess is that requests within the Cloudant package fails to capture the certificate of the server, I can't find a way to point couchDB to those arguments directly.
