Can InsecureRequestWarnings be disabled in the requests module?

Question

This post explains how to disable the warnings in urllib3, but I'm using a session object with the requests module. The warnings are occurring because the verify (ssl) parameter is set to False in order to access a page.

e.g.

url = "https://www.booking.com/searchresults.en-gb.html"

querystring = {"label":"gen173nr-1DCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmcgV1c19vcogBAZgBMbgBB8gBDdgBA-gBAfgBApICAXmoAgM","lang":"en-gb","sid":"5f9b0b3af27a0a0b48017c6c387d8224","track_lsso":"2","sb":"1","src":"searchresults","src_elem":"sb","error_url":"https://www.booking.com/searchresults.en-gb.html?label=gen173nr-1DCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmcgV1c19vcogBAZgBMbgBB8gBDdgBA-gBAfgBApICAXmoAgM;sid=5f9b0b3af27a0a0b48017c6c387d8224;class_interval=1;dest_id=30;dest_type=country;dtdisc=0;group_adults=1;group_children=0;inac=0;index_postcard=0;label_click=undef;mih=0;no_rooms=1;offset=0;postcard=0;raw_dest_type=country;room1=A;sb_price_type=total;src=searchresults;src_elem=sb;ss=" + country + ";ss_all=0;ssb=empty;sshis=0;ssne=" + country + ";ssne_untouched=" + country + "&;","ss":country,"ssne":country,"ssne_untouched":country,"dest_id":"30","dest_type":"country","checkin_monthday":"","checkin_month":"","checkin_year":"","checkout_monthday":"","checkout_month":"","checkout_year":"","room1":"A","no_rooms":"1","group_adults":"1","group_children":"0"}

Answer 1

SSL, security and other warnings can be disabled with urllib3.disable_warnings() (requests uses urllib3 internally). Specifically, SSL verification warnings can be suppressed if we use disable_warnings() with an InsecureRequestWarning object.

import requests
from requests.packages import urllib3

urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

url = "https://www.booking.com/searchresults.en-gb.html"
with requests.Session() as s:
    r = s.get(url, verify=False)
    html = r.text

Note that disabling SSL Peer Verification (verify=False) may be a security issue as it can lead to MITM attacks.
