I am running wiremock in a docker container with flag

"--https-port", "9000"

I am also running a python flask app that has HTTPS_PROXY=https://0.0.0.0:9000 set in env

Wiremock has this stub configured

{
  "request": {
    "scheme": "https",
    "url": "/other/thing",
    "method": "GET",
    "host": {
      "equalTo": "<http://example.com|example.com>"
    }
  },
  "scenarioName": "test",
  "response": {
    "status": 200,
    "jsonBody": {
      "body": "Hello, world!"
    },
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
  }
}

my expectation was that when I make API call to https://example.com/other/thing from my python flask app, the request will be intercepted by wiremock and return mock response

{
  "body": "Hello, world!"
}

I have turned off the ssl verification in python

response = requests.get(
      "<https://example.com/other/thing>", timeout=10, verify=False
    )

What instead happens is that the request fails with error in python app

DEBUG:app:HTTPSConnectionPool(host='<http://example.com|example.com>', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /other/thing (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL] record layer failure (_ssl.c:1006)')))

in wire mock I see error

this works fine for if I switch to http, but for https it is not working

@Lee Turner sorry for bothering you, do you see any issue with this setup?
