  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

7.2

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Linux

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Webpage attachment should grab text based context on webpage via playwrite.

Actual Behavior

Description:
I have identified a blocking bug in open_webui/retrieval/web/utils.py that prevents web retrieval from working correctly. The _verify_ssl_cert function is a coroutine but is called synchronously, resulting in a RuntimeWarning and causing the scraper to abort after fetching only metadata (approx. 3 lines).

Location:
File: /app/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/utils.py
Line: 177 (approximate, based on logs)

Logs:

/app/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/utils.py:177: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'URLProcessingMixin._verify_ssl_cert' was never awaited
  if self.verify_ssl and not self._verify_ssl_cert(url):

Root Cause:
The code attempts to evaluate self._verify_ssl_cert(url) without await.

Proposed Fix:
Change:

if self.verify_ssl and not self._verify_ssl_cert(url):

To:

if self.verify_ssl and not await self._verify_ssl_cert(url):

Environment:

  • Image: `ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main (Latest)
  • Loader: Playwright (and Default)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Attach webpage to chat to use as context.
  2. Wait for processing to be done.
  3. Open processed text for inspection and mostly see empty text. (example site: https://blog.kagi.com/waiting-dawn-search)
