Support for python3.11

[stefanbie]

Hi!
Im trying to use HttpNtlmAuth with python3.11.11 but it does not seems to be supported? Is it possible to add support for it?

Are you getting an error message?

Hi! Thanks for asking. I downloaded the package using:
python3.11 -m pip install requests-ntlm
If I run :

import requests
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth
r = 'https://xxx'
doc = requests.get(r, auth=HttpNtlmAuth('foo\\sbie',bar'))

I get:

urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='xxx', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: xxx (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)')))

The same code works when I use python 3.8

That is a sign that the CA bundle requests is using doesn't trust the certificate presented by https://xxx. That is unrelated to this library and isn't a sign we don't support Python 3.11. There's a good chance it's because your Python 3.8 install of requests is from the system package manager (dnf, apt, etc) and it has been configured to use the system CA bundle whereas installing requests from pip will use certifi which won't reference any of your system CA bundles. https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification shows how you can specify a custom CA trust path amongst other things.

Thanks a lot for the clarification! Now I seem to have found a way to use the certificate :)
