Fix warning "InsecureRequestWarning Unverified HTTPS request is being made"

When using robotframework-requests with https, we get a warning.

Repro steps:

Put this in file google.robot

*** Settings ***
Documentation     A test suite to show https redirects triggers a warning
Library           RequestsLibrary

*** Test Cases ***

Check correct redirect from http://google.com
  Create Session    session1    https://www.google.com
  ${resp}=    Get Request    session1    /    allow_redirects=${false}
   Should Be Equal As Strings    ${resp.status_code}    302

   Log    ${resp.headers['Location']}

Then execute with:

$ robot google.robot

The part

./Users/username/dev/tests/python/robotframework/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:838: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security.html
  InsecureRequestWarning)

doesn’t look that good. How to make it go away?

Same result with: robot --console quiet google.robot

Versions

$ robot --version
Robot Framework 3.0 (Python 2.7.12 on darwin)

By default Create Session uses verify=False Try to set it to True like in:

Create Session    session1    https://www.google.com    verify=True

You can hide this warning by:

import warning from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning warnings.simplefilter(‘ignore’,InsecureRequestWarning) requests.get(…, verify=False)
