Anybody knows how to disable ssl verification on self-signed certificate?

[kevin-y]

I need to clone a repo from an internal git web server which holds a self-signed certificate. It fails on validating the certificate. How can I disable the validation step in pygit2? Thanks in advance!!!

You can't tell pygit2/libgit2 to ignore everything, but you can provide your own certificate validation function as a callback. If you set certificate_check to some function you write, you can ignore the certificate for your known-bad host.

I did override a certificate_check in a subclass, here's what it looks like:

class CustomRemoteCallbacks(RemoteCallbacks):
    def __init__(self, credentials=None, certificate=None):
        super(self.__class__, self).__init__(credendtials, certificate)
     def certificate_check(self, certificate, valid, host):
         return True

The error shows there are too many redirects and exits!

[carlosmn]

A "too many redirects" error is completely orthogonal to a certificate check. What exactly is saying there's too many redirects? What is the actual error that you get from the library? "too many redirects" can indicate that the server has a URL loop, or if you're on Windows, that your callback keeps providing wrong credentials.

@jdavid it's probably a redirect loop. No need to keep this issue open.

yes, closing, reporter didn't provide actual error when asked for
