Bear with me here guys, I am using Flask and I have two different API services running on different IP's and ports on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. All I want to do is send a POST or GET request from one to another using an SSL connection.
I am able to create cert and key files with using "
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/name_of_key.key -out /etc/ssl/name_of_crt.crt" command, also added these files here/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myapi.servicein order to have SSL connection.My NGINX file is given below:
server { listen 60000 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/name_of_cert.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/name_of_key.key; server_name IP_ADDRESS; location / { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_pass unix:/home/first_api/first_api.sock; }}The problem occurs when I try to send a POST request from one API to another. My code for first API is given below:
from flask import Flask, jsonify import requests app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/sample_api_one', methods=['POST', 'GET']) def service(): data = {} data["message"] = "first message has arrived" response = requests.post(' json=data, verify="/etc/ssl/name_of_crt.crt") return jsonify(response.json())I know that I can send my request with changing "verify=False" but that's not the thing I want. I would like to send my request with using SSL connection. Almost tried everything here but still not able to do it.
Lastly, here is my error code when I try to run my app and send a request:
File "/home/venv_first_api/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 514, in send raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='SECOND_API_IP_ADDRESS', port=57949): Max retries exceeded with url: /second_api (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1131)')))
