Update Math Genealogy Project URL

davidalber opened this issue · comments

As mentioned in this comment of #22, the Math Genealogy Project website moved. The URL in Geneagrapher needs to be updated and SSL verification issues overcome.

I guess adding context=ssl._create_unverified_context() to

page = urllib.request.urlopen(url)

is the most reasonable approach - at least for now. I'd say we are not dealing with very dangerous data so we can survive without certificate. Shall I create a Pull request?

@schoeps: Making the requests without verifying the SSL certificate doesn't feel good to me, but I'm fine if you create a PR along those lines for right now. Thanks!
