I'm trying to start using new messenger platform from FB. So i have server with name (i.e.) www.mysite.com I got a valid SSL certificate for that domain and apache is setup correctly - all good.
I have a python code on my server which runs flask and i point it to these certificates I got for the server:
from flask import Flask, request
from pymessenger.bot import Bot
import requests
import ipdb
from OpenSSL import SSL
app = Flask(__name__)
TOKEN = "<access_token>"
bot = Bot(TOKEN)
@app.route("/webhook", methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def hello():
if request.method == 'GET':
if (request.args.get("hub.verify_token") == "my_awesome_token"):
return request.args.get("hub.challenge")
if request.method == 'POST':
output = request.json
event = output['entry'][0]['messaging']
for x in event:
if (x.get('message') and x['message'].get('text')):
message = x['message']['text']
recipient_id = x['sender']['id']
bot.send_text_message(recipient_id, message)
else:
pass
return "success"
if __name__ == "__main__":
# tried this - no luck
#context = SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv23_METHOD)
#context.use_privatekey_file('/home/mysite.com.key')
#context.use_certificate_file('/home/intermediate.crt')
# tried this - also same result
context = ('/mysite.com.crt', '/mysite.com.key')
app.run(host='www.mysite.com',port=5002, debug=True, ssl_context=context)
It starts without error and if I navigate with my browser - i see it gets connections.
port 5002 is open inf my firewall.
But when I go to FB and try to subscribe to that URL - it keeps failing with this error:
The URL couldn't be validated.
Callback verification failed with the following errors: curl_errno = 60;
curl_error = SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate;
HTTP Status Code = 200;
HTTP Message = Connection established
I've read half the internet on the possible reasons and saw many different suggestions, but I can't make any of those work - i end up with the same result 95% of the time. 5% - some other error due to Flask bugging out with some "crazy" settings I try.
What can be wrong? I'm using certificate files which I got from COMODO.
Also tried in the call back url to use /webhook
- no luck either. same error.
