Python - requests.exceptions.SSLError - dh key too small

Question

I\'m scraping some internal pages using Python and requests. I\'ve turned off SSL verifications and warnings.

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

Answer 1

Someone from the requests python library's core development team has documented a recipe to keep the changes limited to one or a few servers:

If your code interacts with multiple servers, it makes sense not to lower the security requirements of all connections because one server has a problematic configuration.

The code worked for me out of the box. That is, using my own value for CIPHERS, 'ALL:@SECLEVEL=1'.
