SSL error when accessing SmartAPI API from requests or httpx

[newgene]

In [27]: requests.get("https://smart-api.info/api/metakg")

with this SSL error:

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='smart-api.info', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/metakg (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:1129)')))

Same issue with httpx package.

Web browser works just fine. Must be SSL version issue, and web browser might be more tolerant.

The smartapi is using HTTPS/TLS 1.3. It's the last version of the TLS.

In this case, the client needs to implement the TLS 1.3 to access it. Otherwise we get an error.

Another option is configuring the servers to accept older versions of TLS.

If it's easy to add the support for older TLS version, e.g. a quick nginx conf change, it might be worth it, so older client can still work.

@everaldorodrigo is this addressed?

[everaldorodrigo]

@newgene yes it was addressed. Now the application is using TLS 1.2 and 1.3.
