I'm using python3 and used pip install dropbox.
On my home machine, I use the sample with
dbx.users_get_curent_account()
and it works fine. On the work VPN, I get a stream of exceptions (pasted below) the bottom line is requests is refusing to connect because of "Self signed cretificate in certificate chain". What I would like to do is catch the exception and offer the user a chance to retry without certificate checks. Is this possible with the API V2? I looked at the source of class Dropbox and create_session but can't see anything likely looking.
Thanks in advance
Source/dropbox $ cat demo.py
import dropbox
dbx=dropbox.Dropbox('oLvM1y1OkxIAAAAAAAAEYiHj9UyVA1EME8CGGsxnMp-e2DGlAaqutsyuXejU_k7d')
print( dbx.users_get_current_account() )
Source/dropbox $ py demo.py
