Invalid SSL cert and missing md5 checksum for get-pip.py ?

[vkristjan]

Hi

i was about to start installing pip from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ and bumped into this

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

After seeing this i still downloaded the file but was hesitant to execute it since i did not find any checksums on the page so i could verify the integrity of the file.

Can you fix the SSL certificate and add get-pip.py file checksums for extra protection?

Hello. Is the SSL issue still happening to you? It may be handled more promptly on a general user support forum like serverfault.com. One piece of information that may help you get help is the output of openssl s_client -servername bootstrap.pypa.io -connect bootstrap.pypa.io:443 -showcerts from the server having the issue. I would compare the certificate from that to the certificate you see when navigating to the page from a web browser.

I have added pypa/get-pip#47 to track providing digests alongside the files in get-pip.

SSL issue is fixed now.
