SSLError: bad handshake: SysCallError(-1, 'Unexpected EOF') when creating JIRA object on Python

[Niraj Vasudevan]

I'm trying to create a simple script to fetch certain information from Jira, from user provided JIRA ID inputs.

However, I am seeing a SSLError: bad handshake error when I try to create the JIRA object. Here's the code snippet that I'm using :

options = {                    'verify': False,                    'server': r'https://xxxx.company.com',                     'project': 'xxx'                    }
        UNAME = raw_input('Username: ')         PWORD = getpass.getpass('Password: ')         basic_authentication = (UNAME, PWORD)         self.jira = JIRA(options=options, basic_auth=basic_authentication

This is the error I see:

" WARNING:root:bad handshake: SysCallError(-1, 'Unexpected EOF') while doing GET ttps://xxxx.company.com/rest/api/2/serverInfo [{u'headers':

Unknown macro: {'Accept-Encoding: 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept'}

 I'm using Python 2.7.10 and installed pyOpenSSL, ndg-httpsclient and pyasn1 python packages on my system.

Where is this error being thrown? Is it immediately after you initialise the JIRA object?

Have you tried adjusting the params of your connection string (e.g. remove verify = false and remove the project selection at the JIRA initiatialisation)?
