hi there:

its a great package. it is very convenient for me to update the drivers. it works perfectly when downloading the Edge and Chrome drivers. but when i used this package to automatically download firefox drivers. unable to download and reported the following error:

Hi @batu1579 !
Please read the docs in https://github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager/blob/master/README.md#configuration
Your problem is that you exceeded amount of anonymous downloads from github.
You need to setup GH_TOKEN variable in your system environment.
Have a good day!

hello @aleksandr-kotlyar !

Thanks for your help, but I still get the same error after setting the environment variable. I checked the information and found that it seems to be caused by SSL authentication failure. So I disable SSL authentication at the error point (line 93 in utils.py).

From this：

response = requests.get(url, stream=True)

To this：

response = requests.get(url, stream=True, verify=False)

It looks like the problem has been resolved, but I still don't know why: I can open Github and manually download the file, but I can't get the file using request. I am very confused. :(

Issue seems to be related to a proxy. Are you working behind a proxy intercepting https requests?

An improvement to this great library would be adding some parameter to customize the requests session object.
