Archiving a wiki with SSL 1.0 possible?

[big-edd]

Hello,

We have a very old install of MediaWiki that has not been kept updated, and is only using version 1.0 of SSL. I am now trying backup with dumpgenerator so that we can build something more current, but am getting an ssl unsupported protocol errors.

For example.. ..
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='our-internal-url.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL] unsupported protocol (_ssl.c:1000)')))

Is it possible to archive a wiki only using version 1.0 of SSL?

Cheers,
Eddie.

Add option --insecure to the command line to disable SSL certificate verification.

I can't guarantee that this feature will work on SSL on Windows.

Tried the custom openssl.cnf file with OPENSSL_CONF=/path/to/openssl.cnf and had the exact same result as above.

The target system and version 1.15.1 for MediaWiki. Not quite version 1.16 as required by mwclient.

I cloned the latest mwclient and disabled version errors by modifying with raise_error=False as shown below.

$ grep "def require" mwclient/client.py 
    def require(self, major, minor, revision=None, raise_error=False):

Seems to be working now, but I wonder how broken the result may be?

Guess I see when it is all restored to a new system.

Eddie.
