I am just beginning to learn how to use sockets in python. I am trying to create a get request to "python.org" but I keep on getting "301" error. If anyone knows why please help.
import socket
import ssl
hostname = 'www.python.org'
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with socket.create_connection((hostname, 443)) as sock:
with context.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=hostname) as ssock:
print(ssock.version())
request = 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:%s\r\n\r\n' % hostname
ssock.send(request.encode())
response = ssock.recv(6000)
print(response)
EDIT: I am currently getting this response
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108)
Can anyone help with this error?
Got it working with this code:
import socket
import ssl
hostname = 'www.python.org'
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with socket.create_connection((hostname, 443)) as sock:
try:
context.check_hostname = False
context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
except:
None
with context.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=hostname) as ssock:
print(ssock.version())
request = 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:%s\r\n\r\n' % hostname
ssock.send(request.encode())
response = ssock.recv(6000)
print(response)
301 HTTP code is Moved Permanently not an error. For this resources, you need use with another link (current is /
, it define in first line GET / HTTP
). It define in your response http_response
.
