Python Requests: .pem -> .crt + key

Question

I\'ve been given a .pem file for authentication on an XML POST API. I would prefer using Python Requests and have found in the documentation that I need to convert the .pem

Answer 1

There's a behaviour of requests (see documentation here) that you can take advantage of here without having to generate a crt or key files.

Let's say you have the pem file here: /path/to/certificate.pem, you can then do:

r = requests.get('https://example.com', verify='/path/to/cetificate.pem')

And it should work perfectly.
