Unable to download NZBs via url

Post by ezwhip »

Hi all-

I'm guessing this happened with a recent upgrade, and I've seen similar threads, but sabnzbd is failing to download NZBs via URL (this has worked flawlessly for ages). When I hit the url with lynx I get a self-signed cert error - I'm on Python 2.7.9 and sabnzbd 0.7.20 - is this the OpenSSL v3 issue people have been talking about? Just curious if/what the workaround is.

Cheers.

Yes, probably. Can you - for the record - post the URL / FQDN of the indexer you're using?

Workarounds:
- use plain HTTP instead of HTTPS
- a few lines of python code I wrote a few months ago: see https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.ph ... 565#p98483
- use SABnzbd pre-0.8.x

Which do you prefer?

This actually was the easiest fix, worked like a champ:
