Coles SSLCertVerificationError

[MattTimms]

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.coles.com.au', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)')))

GitHub Actions started failing two weeks ago. This coincides with Cole's certificate change; issued on Monday, 6 May 2024 at 10:00:00.
