Checking URL availability in Python
I had to script some of the tasks in my workflow that required checking whether URL is alive or not. Noting it down here for my future reference.
I ran into SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED
error when I tried to access https links on macOS through this tool. I later realize that I didn’t read the README instructions of Python installation properly and missed to run the additional script (/Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
) (side effect of always ignoring the readme instructions ). Afer running that script, things worked as expected.
