Description of issue / feature request

Getting SSLCertVerificationError when using Https request

Expected behavior

Should able to run test

Actual behavior

getting SSL error when performing test against internal API

Environment settings (for bug reports)

• OS: Windows 10
• Python version: Python 3.7
• Locust version: Locust 0.8.1

Steps to reproduce (for bug reports)

I'm new to Locust and I'm running load testing against internal Rest API. The API uses header token for authorization. But when I pass the header information, it is throwing an error

I'm running the test using the following command
locust -f name.py

SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError

TBD - example code appreciated

  from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet, task

  class SampleTest(TaskSet):

def on_start(self):
	self.client.post('rest api root url end point',
					headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
					'Authorization': 'bearer  token'}
					)
						
	
@task(2)
def get_Listings(self):
	self.client.get("passing the end point of one service")
	
   class WebsiteUser(HttpLocust):
      host = "rest api root url endpoint"
      min_wait = 2000
      max_wait = 5000
      task_set = SampleTest

** you can ignore cert verification by adding verify=False to your requests.

@cgoldberg This is not very convenient way, you need to patch each method.

Hi guys,

@cgoldberg

Honestly, I gave the Locust a try via verify=False attribute in my post request but it still throws the https connection exception
What's the remedy ?

token_response = self.client.post('/auth/realms/xyz/protocol/openid-connect/token', verify=False, data=data_value, headers=header_value)

it doesn't work for me to call a https url from amazon
