#38232 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Setting `sslverify` to false still validates the hostname

Reported by: dd32's profile dd32 Owned by: dd32's profile dd32
Milestone: 4.7.1 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version:
Component: HTTP API Keywords:
Focuses: Cc:

Description

Under 4.5.x when you set sslverify to false it'd make a HTTPS connection and ignore the validity of the certificate presented.
Under 4.6/4.6.1 it still ignores the validity, but verifies that the SSL matches the domain (ie. example.com cert would be rejected for a example.net request).

This was fixed upstream in https://github.com/rmccue/Requests/pull/239
