Getting ('Connection aborted.', OSError(0, 'Error') errors with python requests

Question

I'm trying to write code to login to a website.
First I tested using ARC. It works fine. Image

So I wrote python code like this:

import requests


url = 'https://www.bible.ac.kr/login.aspx/'
headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko',
    'Referer': 'http://www.bible.ac.kr/'
}


req = requests.get(url, headers=headers) # OR requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

print(req.status_code)

but I got errors.

Error

I have not solved this problem for a long time.
Only when I run Fiddler, the code works fine. I don't know the reason.
Even though I tried using C language, I still got an error on this website.
Can you solve this problem using only Python?

i am facing the same problem, with homebrew installed python3.7 in mac os. – Sennit

It looks like the url does not work. – Stipitate

@Dumah - is this still relevant? I am getting The requested URL /login.aspx was not found on this server. when trying to access the page using my browser – Graphics

Answer 1

I solved the problem using OPENSSL 1.0.1f.

The domain only supported TLS 1.0, SSLv2, and SSLv3. These protocols are outdated and rarely used. So I doubted the compatibility of OPENSSL 1.1.1 series. As a result, using openssl version 1.0.1f solved the problem. However, using older openssl in Python may require extra work.

I'm not very good at English, but I hope this helps.

Can you please post the code how to use OpenSSL with requests module? – Hollingshead

I also would like to know how to use OpenSSL in requests... =/ – Ariew

Cannot do it with python3.8. Openssl 1.0 series is not compatible with python3.8 it seems. – Scopophilia

Answer 2

The wrap_socket call was not from a SSLContext; this seemed to cause problem when making SSL handshake; in urllib3 1.26 it was changed to context.wrap_socket.

Installing a new version of Python can solve such problems.

Answer 3

Have you tried using a try/except?

while statuscode != 200:
    response = 0
    try:
        response = requests.get(url, params, timeout=7)
    except (
        requests.ConnectionError,
        requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout,
        requests.exceptions.Timeout,
        requests.exceptions.ConnectTimeout,
    ) as e:
        statuscode = 0
        print(e)
    if response:
        statuscode = response.status_code

I have interestingly found that "if response" is only entered when the response is 200 - I don't know why but I am not complaining, haha!

Welcome to Stack Overflow community. As you're providing some code example, it is a good practice to format the code, here are some details about code formatting: meta.#251861 – Groome
