Suppress InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made in Python2.6
You can disable any Python warnings via the PYTHONWARNINGS
environment variable. In this case, you want:
export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore:Unverified HTTPS request"
To disable using Python code (requests >= 2.16.0
):
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
For requests < 2.16.0
, see original answer below.
Original answer
The reason doing urllib3.disable_warnings()
didn't work for you is because it looks like you're using a separate instance of urllib3 vendored inside of requests.
I gather this based on the path here: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py
To disable warnings in requests' vendored urllib3, you'll need to import that specific instance of the module:
import requests
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
This is the answer in 2017. urllib3
not a part of requests
anymore
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
Per this github comment, one can disable urllib3
request warnings via requests
in a 1-liner:
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
This will suppress all warnings though, not just InsecureRequest
(ie it will also suppress InsecurePlatform
etc). In cases where we just want stuff to work, I find the conciseness handy.
