Bypassing urlfetch SSL certificate validation

[Justin]

Get the following when trying to download from a site with a bad
certificate

File "/home/jhw/packages/google_appengine-1.5.0/google/appengine/api/
urlfetch.py", line 367, in _get_fetch_result
raise SSLCertificateError(str(err))
google.appengine.api.urlfetch_errors.SSLCertificateError:
ApplicationError: 6 (1, '_ssl.c:491: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed')

Is there anyway to bypass this / force urlfetch to do an 'insecure'
connection ?

Thanks!

Hi Justin,
Have you tried explicitly setting the validate_certificate parameter
to False in your fetch call?
