invalid input defined or SSL error: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2' about linkfinder HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey,man.I think i have the same problem as you,but i fixed it.
You can change the code of linkfinder.py.
Original Code:

sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)

...code

response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)

After the change of code:

# Support websites that force TLSv1.2

...code

try:
    sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)
    response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)
except:
    sslcontext = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
    response = urlopen(q, context=sslcontext)

@irshad9998 Thanks for reporting! I'll look into it.

from linkfinder.

I have noticed we're using low level urllib. Should we use python Requests instead ?
Requests lib might handle that for us.

I swapped out requests originally because it gave very bad performance. (some problems with using it for very large textfiles in combination with file://)

@gh0stkey Thank you so much for the suggestion. Ill try it out and add it to LinkFinder.
