SSL Error using virtualmin api

When trying to access the remote api via either curl or python’s request library I get an SSL error.

In python:

    url = f"https://{args.server}:10000/virtual-server/remote.cgi?program=list-domains"
    resp = requests.get(url,auth=(args.user, args.password))

results in

ssl.SSLError: ("read error: Error([('SSL routines', '', 'unexpected eof while reading')])",)

From wget:

wget --http-user root --http-passwd='<redacted>' 'https://<redacted>:10000/virtual-server/remote.cgi?program=list-domains'

results in a loop of:

2023-01-25 18:29:54 (31.8 KB/s) - Read error at byte 3214 (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.).Retrying.

wget does return output, but the SSL exception means I can’t access the response body in python.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

#2

Further information - the ssl certificate is from letsencrypt and is valid.

#3

Not a full solution, but a workaround, if you just need to use / test the API urgently, and want to look later on for the SSL issue:

You can use wget with skipping ssl-check with parameter: --no-check-certificate

#4

The SSL cert is valid, and the error occurs even if validation is turned off.

For now I’m just tunneling over ssh and running the cli.
