setting https for the connector

[l-arnold]

(Edit: On Magento Connector Branch 8.0 in Debian and connecting with Magento 1.93)
When specifying https rather than http in the connector I am getting the following error:

A network error caused the failure of the job: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

I have tried to put .crt/.pem files from the Magento Site into the Odoo Server in openssl findable directories but I still get the failure. Somehow in fact my attempts ended up causing problems with XMLRPC protocol so I have, for now, gone to a backup which is working again.

It seems that there are several references to Code like the following that can stop "verification" though I am not finding any way to control this behavior in Magento Connector. Perhaps some sort of a Python statement could implement it..

Example from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19268548/python-ignore-certificate-validation-urllib2

import urllib2, ssl

request = urllib2.Request('https://somedomain.co/')
response = urllib2.urlopen(request, context=ssl._create_unverified_context())

I really need to get this working. Likely a way with the xmlrpc to get the cert (which is working normally on Magento) to work via putting .pem file into the Odoo system (Debian). That said, I tried that so far with no luck.

Any help here would be appreciated. Seems it would be something to build into the system as it appears to be a common issue in other parts of the Python world and some parts of the Odoo world.

So I was able to get http working again (without backup image). A space had entered in at the end of the Connector backend URL entry.

Not successful yet on https though.

In Branch 8:

I am back trying to work through this. If I am running Magento in https (for secure and unsecure), then in Odoo MagentoConnector, I have "http://magentourl..."
defined I get :

ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for magentourl/index.php/api/xmlrpc: 500 Internal Server Error>

If I move the connector URL to "https://magentourl..."
I get

A
network error caused the failure of the job: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

I have found:
import urllib2

within magentoerpconnect/product.py
testing but not really getting traction by adding

import ssl

directly below. Then lower in the file:
I have tried to add
(after) > request = urllib2.Request(url)
(this line) response = urllib2.urlopen(request, context=ssl._create_unverified_context())

Not getting it done. I will work on this some more. Seems there should be a solution.

(I should generally get more formal here via Git pulls and modifications - I do have this pulled). Need to get back into practice.
