From 6ce875aec5d0bd77084b1d7ceb2a955b61025572 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinay Kumar Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 17:21:30 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Fix SSL certificate verification issue on macOS (fixes #1632) This fix improves the robustness of SSL certificate loading on macOS systems where the default certificate loading mechanism fails. The fix attempts multiple approaches to ensure certificates are properly loaded, including: 1. Standard load_default_certs() call 2. Fallback to certifi if available 3. Proper error handling to avoid complete SSL failures The issue was that on macOS, even though certifi is installed and requests works, HTTPie's SSL verification was failing because the certificate store wasn't being loaded properly in some environments. --- httpie/compat.py | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/httpie/compat.py b/httpie/compat.py index d12abcff02..4c221886ba 100644 --- a/httpie/compat.py +++ b/httpie/compat.py @@ -104,10 +104,37 @@ def get_dist_name(entry_point: importlib_metadata.EntryPoint) -> Optional[str]: def ensure_default_certs_loaded(ssl_context: SSLContext) -> None: """ Workaround for a bug in Requests 2.32.3 - + + On macOS and some other platforms, the default certificate loading + mechanism may not work reliably.
