Running Fiddler to Capture Python Requests

[daniel]

Hi, 

I'm having trouble getting fiddler to decrypt https traffic with the Requests library in python.  I have an application that is structured like Chrome --> iis --> python --> --> API Server.  Running my application from localhost, it captures the traffic from Chrome --> iis, I need python --> API server.  However, when I attempt the request directly from my IDE it captures python --> API server but the initial POST command to get the necessary token returns this exception:

"(Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",),))" .  

I have added the fiddler cert and have confirmed it is in my trusted root certificates in mmc.  This request works as expected when I do NOT have fiddler running.

Any guidance would be much appreciated I have spent a lot of time searching the web for answers.

Thank you in advance,

Daniel

Hi,

It seems that python do not use the certificate store provided by Windows. I would suggest to go ahead and check which certificate store python uses and add Fiddler's root certificate there.
