SSL Error calling /arcgis/admin/uploads/upload

Question

Hello, I am trying to change update a SOE via Python script. I am using /arcgis/admin/uploads/upload POST request, but I am getting an error. # minimal example of changing an SOE import arcpy, os, httplib, json, socket, sys, urllib, requests username = 'admin' password = 'enter_password_here' # get IPV4 address hostname = socket.gethostname() serverName = socket.gethostbyname(hostname) # IPV4 Address serverPort = 6080 def getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort): tokenURL = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" params = urllib.urlencode({'username': username, 'password': password, 'client': 'requestip', 'f': 'json'}) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} # Connect to URL and post parameters httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", tokenURL, params, headers) # Read response response = httpConn.getresponse() if (response.status != 200): httpConn.close() print("Error while fetching tokens from admin URL. Please check the URL and try again.") return else: data = response.read() httpConn.close() obj = json.loads(data) if 'status' in obj and obj['status'] == "error": return # Extract the token from it return obj['token'] token = getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort) soe_path = r"C:\Users est-user\Documents\SOI_Test1.soe" # upload the soe file upload_url = "https://localhost:6443/arcgis/admin/uploads/upload?f=json" print(token) import requests with open(soe_path, 'rb') as f: data = { "token": token } response = requests.post(upload_url, data, files={'itemFile': f}) print(response)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I am just getting a token and using it to try to call /arcgis/admin/uploads/upload. The post request gives error: File "C:\Users est-user\Documents\change_soe.py", line 53, in response = requests.post(upload_url, data, files={'itemFile': f}) File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages equests\api.py", line 110, in post return request('post', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages equests\api.py", line 56, in request return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages equests\sessions.py", line 475, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages equests\sessions.py", line 596, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7\lib\site-packages equests\adapters.py", line 497, in send raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:727)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The token works with /arcgis/admin/services/FOLDER/SERVICE_NAME.MapServer/edit, but I used httplib.HTTPConnection request method. I am not sure why it is not working with requests library here.

use verify = False if you don't need verify ssl certificate

requests.get('https://....', verify=False)

Same POST request that succeeds with httplib.HTTPConnection will fail with requests.post (example below). I am using AWS EC2, but I think it may be due to the REST API used, since I can use request.posts sucessfully with other https URLs. import arcpy, os, httplib, json, socket, sys, urllib, requests username = 'admin' password = 'enter_pass_here' # get IPV4 address hostname = socket.gethostname() serverName = socket.gethostbyname(hostname) # IPV4 Address serverPort = 6080 def getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort): tokenURL = "/arcgis/admin/generateToken" params = urllib.urlencode({'username': username, 'password': password, 'client': 'requestip', 'f': 'json'}) headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} # Connect to URL and post parameters httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", tokenURL, params, headers) # Read response response = httpConn.getresponse() if (response.status != 200): httpConn.close() print("Error while fetching tokens from admin URL. Please check the URL and try again.") return else: data = response.read() httpConn.close() obj = json.loads(data) if 'status' in obj and obj['status'] == "error": return # Extract the token from it return obj['token'] token = getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort) serviceUrl = "https://localhost:6443/arcgis/admin/services/FOLDER/SERVICE_NAME.MapServer" headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"} params = urllib.urlencode({ 'f': 'json', 'token': token }) # SSL error # response = requests.post(serviceUrl, params, headers=headers) # print(response.text) # this works httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort) httpConn.request("POST", serviceUrl, params, headers) response = httpConn.getresponse() print(response.read())‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
