Hello,

I keep on getting the following error

`elasticsearch.exceptions.SSLError: ConnectionError([SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:847)) caused by: SSLError([SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:847))`

below is my code code is

```auto
es = Elasticsearch(
['https://my_IP:64297/es/'],
# turn on SSL
use_ssl=True,
# make sure we verify SSL certificates
http_auth=('test', 'test'),
# no verify SSL certificates
verify_certs=False,
ca_certs=False
)

```
