android: SSL certificate issues about meteostat-python HOT 2 OPEN

Hi,

Good question. I'm not sure if/how to disable verification globally. Did you try this already?

pip install –upgrade certifi

from meteostat-python.

Yes I built it from scratch, I was able to log, from inside my code, certifi package version, is the same I get when running from desktop.
I did some searches and read meteostat code, I saw that you use pandas to fetch csv, read_csv method, in more recent versions you can pass urllib options (pandas uses urllib) to download via http, so you can say for example which is SSL context. I was trying to do this in a fork I did from your package but no luck, since buildozer can install pandas 1.0.3 which is too old for that storage_options parameter, if I try to force installation of a more recent version of pandas I've got errors. I thought also to split the read csv in two steps:

• use requests get to fetch the file and store it locally, with requests is quite easier to set SSL context or disable verification
• use read_csv to read local file
  Anyhow I wasn't able to understand what should I do to do it properly because sometimes files gets read properly, other times I get bad gzip.

I thought that a version using requests could also interest also meteostat package maintainers, since it is an almost standard de-facto library.
