[RESOLVED] SSL on WAPTHttpServer secondary repository

sterobo · February 2, 2026 - 1:49 PM

Using Python and import requests, I get the same error, but with curl, it seems to work:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><body style="font-family:verdana"><h1>WAPTHttpServer Server Error 404</h1><hr><p>HTTP 404 Not Found</p><p>Wrong route</p><small>mORMot 2</small></body></html>

curl with "--cacert"?

Yes: curl https://<fqdn du dépôt> --cacert "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\ssl\server\ca.crt"

So what does this return?

For me, the same error as wapt-get update:

I'm a bit stuck; it seems surprising that curl accepts it but not Python.

Could you try setting the secondary repository in the "Main repository URL" configuration to HTTPS in the WAPT console

and then clicking "Verify" to see if that helps?

sterobo · February 3, 2026 - 9:56 AM

Yes, I've already tried that and it works, and I do have a line in access443.log:

Code: Select all

x.x.x.x - - [02/Feb/2026:08:55:42 +0000] "HEAD /wapt/ping HTTP/1.1" 200 176 "https://<fqdn du dépôt>" "waptconsole/2.6.1.17472W"

I'm a bit stuck; it seems Python is rejecting the certificate, but the console is working...

The last time I saw that, it was an antivirus program that was performing a MITM attack in the middle of a certain application.

to try :

Code: Select all

import waptlicences
waptlicences.get_peer_cert_chain_from_server("https://reposecondaire",r"C:\waptdev\test")

To retrieve the certificate, see...

Mmmh, I have this:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'waptlicences' has no attribute 'get_peer_cert_chain_from_server'

However, waptcrypto.get_peer_cert_chain_from_server returns [ <SSLCertificate cn='<fqdn du dépôt>' fingerprint=xxxxxx issuer='<Mon AC>' validity=202x-xx-xx - 20xx-xx-xx Code-Signing=False CA=False> ]
While it seems to me that he should also return the intermediate and the AC...

The problem seems to be solved with a more recent version of wapthttpserver.exe (the latest one to be precise), I can go away for the weekend with peace of mind! Thanks for the help, Simon!
