Python3 request if failing with cert error

Question

I am trying to request a page from a server with self signed certificates but I do not want to query via the public domain so I am just trying to fetch the data like this in python3. The certificate has been issues against the domain xyz.test.com that is why I am adding that in headers.

requests.get('https://10.164.0.3:32735/productpage', verify='/cert/path/ca.crt', headers={'Host': 'xyz.test.com'})

But I am facing below error

my python docker file supports TLS1.3,1.2,1.1 I have checked that using urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check', context=ssl._create_unverified_context()).read()

I have also added below packages to my docker file:

RUN pip3 install ndg-httpsclient
RUN pip3 install pyopenssl
RUN pip3 install pyasn1

Also, curl request for the same works fine from the same pod.

curl "https://xyz.test.com/productpage" --connect-to "xyz.test.com:443:10.164.0.3:32735" --cacert /etc/bookinfo/bookinfo-ca.crt
