HTTPie give SSLError for normal sites

+0

HTTPie complains about TLS certificates ever for sites I know are fine:

$ https wikipedia.org

https: error: SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='wikipedia.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)'))) while doing a GET request to URL: https://wikipedia.org/

It opens fine in my browser, so what's the problem?

Sometimes Python packages fail to use your system's CA certificates (what your browser uses). For HTTPie, this is actually tracked in https://github.com/httpie/cli/issues/1581

One solution is to pip install pip-system-certs which will make Python use your system certificates instead. After this, https wikipedia.org should work normally.
