urllib2.urlopen fails on C4D for Mac
-
This is a SSL certificates issue
-
Hi, @merkvilson thanks for contacting us.
Unfortunately, this is an already a known issue and it's not fixed yet.
You may find some workaround by googling the error message, but this indeed introduce some security issue so we can't recommend this as a correct workaround.Cheers,
Maxime. -
Does this apply only to Mac devices?
-
Ok. It seems like this problem occurs only on Mac devices.
-
Yes the SSL error is only a mac issue
-
It seems like there are two ways of solving this problem.
- Via PIP:
pip install --upgrade certifi
- Via Cerificates.command
open /Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
(Yes. I know C4D works only with python 2.7 )
Is it possible to execute these codes directly from python plugin?
- Via PIP:
-
As I remember, there is a pip module which can be imported via import pip command in python code and then install the desired modules but will it work with C4D's python implementation?
-
Hi @merkvilson, I indeed overlooked the issue, since in all topic it's only Python 3.6, I didn't tried.
But in MacOs, certifi is not installed (which cause the issue), but you can directly get the certificate file to make it works as expected. Here the code which works on mac and windows.
import c4d import os import ssl import urllib f = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(c4d.storage.GeGetStartupApplication()), "resource", "ssl", "cacert.pem") context = ssl.create_default_context(cafile=f) urllib.urlopen("https://google.com",context=context)
Or with urllib2
import c4d import urllib2 import os f = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(c4d.storage.GeGetStartupApplication()), "resource", "ssl", "cacert.pem") urllib2.urlopen("https://google.com", cafile=f)

Thanks, Maxime! I'll check it as soon as one of the beta testers will be available online to test it out.
-
I'm getting this error message on windows pc. I guess this is expected behavior on windows, right?
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 405: METHOD NOT ALLOWED
-
@merkvilson said in C4D's python implementation on Mac and PC:
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 405: METHOD NOT ALLOWED
Does it happen on all websites? Or only a specific one? Could you try to open https://google.com
Here it's working nicely on windows/mac -
I tried again and it worked perfectly.
I'm not sure what caused the previous problem. I probably did something wrong.
I'm still testing it on my windows pc, and I'm not getting any errors.
I guess this thread will be marked as solved in a few minutes -
Code worked on all of my beta testers' mac and windows devices.
Thanks, Maxime! -
Hey everyone,
i am having this problem where I want to download an assets (zipfile) from a private repo on GitHub.
I've started to develop it with
requests
from there everything worked fine... now I am trying to port it tourllib2
for C4D but it doesn't work anymore...'Accept': 'application/octet-stream'
will always result in:HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type
If I get rid of
'Accept': 'application/octet-stream'
it will give me theapplication/json
headers = { 'Authorization': 'token %s' % (MYTOKEN), 'Accept': 'application/octet-stream', } url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/USER/REPO/releases/ID' request = urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) print response.read() #GIVES ME: #urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type
Any idea how to avoid the
HTTP Error 415
and download the zip to disk?
Really hard to find something about this anywhere...Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lasse -
Hi Lasse,
you're probably having some issues with authorization.
You're getting a JSON response which may indicate that your requested URL cannot be delivered.
What's the content of the reponse if you print it?
Does it happen with a public repo as well?Best,

Hi Robert!Haven't tested it with a public repo yet, but I'll bet its going to work ... the
print
of theresponse
gives me:urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 415: Unsupported Media Type
which I can't find much info for ...
-
By the way, the URL you provided doesn't reflect GitHubs scheme. It is actually
https://api.github.com/USER/REPO/releases/ID
-
@mp5gosu Yep, the link is coming from the provided JSON data. Also removing the
repo
from the link gives me the same error!
Is it possible that this has something to do with'Accept': 'application/octet-stream'
? Isn't it possible to stream with urllib2? -
Hey Lasse,
sorry - removing "repos" is actually wrong when using api access, my bad.
I can now also comprehend your problem. I'm going to dig a little deeper. -
Hey again. Managed to download it when using the zipball or tarball URLs. Weird though, that it responds with 415 when using the asset id directly.
