Description Petr Pisar 2013-11-01 13:17:35 UTC

dev-python/urlgrabber-3.9.1-r2 cannot download data over HTTPS because incompatibility with dev-python/pycurl-7.19.0-r3.

If an HTTPS schema to download a document is used, urlgrabber dies:

$ urlgrabber https://google.com/
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 1161, in _set_opts
    self.curl_obj.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYHOST, opts.ssl_verify_host)
pycurl.error: (43, '')

This is because a wrong value is passed to setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYHOST,).

Fix has already been applied by upstream <http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=urlgrabber.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6bfd59c4393ea8ba5165aabb249c37d6d2a9931>:

Subject: [PATCH] - if we're not using keepalives then don't reuse the connections
 - ssl verify host needs to be '2' when it is set to true - 1 is kinda meaningless

Alternatively it might be better/faster to just update urlgrabber unstable to 3.10 for which I just filed bug 490518.

Basically upstream has released a new version after 4 years with *a lot* of bugfixes + testuite addition.

Assuming 3.10.1 is fine then.  Will stabilize in another bug.
