Issue type
Summary
I have a self hosted OpenStreetMap server which can only be accessed using SSL connections. The certificates are however generated using certbot and thus queries cannot be send using overpy due to the fact that those certificates are by default marked as unverified.
Hence, to fix this issue, I've added a new optional parameter context to the constructor of the Overpass object in order to define an optional ssl context which is passed to the call of urlopen in the query method.
So, if you want to connect to a Overpass server with a self signed certificate, create a new ssl context with:
ssl_context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
and setup a new Overpass object using that context
opy = overpy.Overpass(url='https://example.com/api/interpreter', context=ssl_context)
