Httpie: requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:507: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

@kajisaap what URL was it? apissl.example.com doesn't resolve.

@jakubroztocil I would paste it but I hate to see company's URL in public issue listing. That's why i pasted the debug log. how do i message you privately if api endpoint URL is critical for debugging purposes ?

@jakubroztocil , assuming the similarity here https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2056

Seems like an upstream issue. Try installing those packages mentioned in the linked issue.

Try

$ pip install --force-reinstall requests[security]

@kajisaap please email me the URL so I can give you better help with this. My email is on my profile page.

@sigmavirus24 sudo pip install --force-reinstall 'requests[security]' --upgrade didnot help. I am in Yosemite 10.10.2 if system information might make the difference

@kajisaap can you comment with openssl version too?

Side note: @jakubroztocil your debug call to requests is faulty. requests.request won't accept that dictionary. It needs to be requests.request(**{ #... for what it's worth.

@kajisaap also python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)'

$>python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)'

@sigmavirus24 thanks, fixed

So I have 0 problems with the website on python 3.4.2. So this would seem to be an SNI issue. For reference, this is my openssl version:

>>> import ssl
>>> print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)
OpenSSL 1.0.1l 15 Jan 2015

But also, I only have requests installed.

On python 2.7.9 the same works with the same openssl version. Interestingly enough, installing requests[security] in a temporary virtualenv on py2.7.9 fails though (and provides a different error because pyOpenSSL's SysCallError doesn't have a __str__ method defined that returns properly formatted str). That error is also due to a handshake failure. I would either upgrade to python 2.7.9 (via brew or Python.org) and upgrade openssl (via brew and force-linking). I'm also on OSX 10.10

Smells like a duplicate of #262 / #288.

@mathiasbynens this doesn't have anything to do with SNI as best as I can tell. That said @kajisaap has stopped responding so I'm :+1: for closing this as incomplete.

@sigmavirus24 I’m confused — you just said “So this would seem to be an SNI issue” in your previous comment.

I confirm that I have this error too:

$ http https://larlet.fr

http: error: SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:507: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

With that version of OpenSSL and HTTPie:

$ python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)'
OpenSSL 1.0.2 22 Jan 2015
$ http --version
0.9.2

I forced reinstall with requests' security module without any improvement.

I'm having the same issue trying to hit a hello-world Dropwizard app on localhost (the expected response is an empty JSON array).

$ http --verify=no https://localhost:8443/hello

http: error: SSLError: ("bad handshake: SysCallError(-1, 'Unexpected EOF')",) while doing GET request to URL: https://localhost:8443/hello
$ curl -k https://localhost:8443/hello
[]

I'm still seeing this:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.11
$ python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)'
OpenSSL 1.0.2f  28 Jan 2016

I tried force reinstalling requests' security module: no joy.

hello,
I have the samme issue with python 2.7.9 and Requests module when execute
r = requests.get(url=urloo,headers=self.headers, verify=False)
with urloo = https://10.xxx.xx.xxxx:yyyyy/oo/rest/latest/executions/21589456/summary
the request return :
File "C:ApplicationsPython27libsite-packagesrequests-2.9.1-py2.7.eggrequestsadapters.py", line 447, in send
raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:507: EOF occurred in violation of protocol
The verify header is positionned to False

maybe related to kennethreitz/requests#3006

Does someone experience this issue with Python 2.7.6?
If not, this could be related: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32330919/python-ssl-ssl-sslerror-ssl-unsupported-protocol-unsupported-protocol-ssl

I was able to resolve this by doing what @sigmavirus24 suggested

pip install --force-reinstall requests[security]
This was with python 2.7.10 on macOS Sierra 10.12

I've just hit this problem on https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/644, with whatever versions apt-get install httpie installs on Travis CI (with dist: trusty). Using --verify=no (NOT --verify no !) fixed it. (You will NOT want to use this for a public website with SSL; in my case, it was just for a https://localhost:8443/... with a self signed certificate.)
