SSL/URL error when trying to connect to HITRAN via hapi

[emccaughey]

I have been trying to connect to HITRAN via hapi and and keep receiving an ssl/url error.

I am using a macOS 14.4.1 with python 3.9.13. I am able to access HITRAN.org via any web browser, but am not able to fetch data using hapi.

I have tried using this fix with a variety of HAPI versions, with no luck.

I have also seen some other people online who may be having this same issue.

One Error:

HAPI version: 1.2.2.0
To get the most up-to-date version please check http://hitran.org/hapi
ATTENTION: Python versions of partition sums from TIPS-2021 are now available in HAPI code
