SSL error on uploading cloud files

[janetrbarclay]

I found a workaround for this issue but am posting it to document the resolution and in case the need for the workaround can be addressed.

Issue Description:
I am uploading files to an existing SB item. For smaller files I'm using upload_file_to_item and that works as expected. For larger files I am using upload_cloud_file_to_item and then I am getting an SSL error:

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.sciencebase.gov', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /graphql (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1016)')))

• I am currently in the office on the wired network

• I have confirmed that I am logged into SB

• I tried explicitly pointing to the SSL certificate I have but that didn't fix it.
  url = "https://api.sciencebase.gov/"
cert_path = r'...\<cert_file.pem>'
response = requests.get(url, verify=cert_path)

• When I disconnected from the wired network and connected to the internal wifi the file uploaded but then returned an unauthorized access exception

ret = sb.upload_cloud_file_to_item(sb_id, thisFile)
Uploading |################################| 12/12

File ~\SbSession.py:1294, in SbSession._check_errors(self, response)
1292 raise Exception("Resource not found, or user does not have access")
1293 elif response.status_code == 401:
-> 1294 raise Exception("Unauthorized access")
1295 elif response.status_code == 429:
1296 raise Exception("Too many requests")
Exception: Unauthorized access

Issue Resolution:

• Finally when I connected to the visitor wifi (still connected to GlobalProtect) the file uploaded as expected
