Washington Post RSS feed-based recipes not working
Trying to get the Washington Post RSS feed-based recipe to work
https://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss...ons/editorials When I try to create using a standard recipe option, it doesn't work. Seems like that is happening already with other RSS based recipes like the NYT, The Economist and now with the Washington Post. I know unkn0wn has graciously created one for the NYT RSS based recipes which works great. I am hoping his expertise can help on this one. Thank you. |

Hi unkn0wn, just trying to get the rss feed from here
https://www.washingtonpost.com/discu...ost-rss-feeds/ So I can look up by columnists and read their past posts. The simple recipe I created just says "<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)>" with nothing downloaded. I know there is already a Washington Post recipe but just wondering why creating a simple recipe from scratch doesn't work. Thanks. |

The issue is one posted about many times. There is a security issue related to the vertificate store on your computer being out of date.
There have been MANY reported issues and workarounds posted in these forums. The next version of calibre Kovid is overriding Windows default certificate store and using a custom one. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

I used unkn0wn's suggestion for other users with certificate issues by adding this in the recipe
def get_browser(self): return BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser(self, verify_ssl_certificates=False) So, the certificate error message went away but still fails to download any article. I attached the basic recipe. |
