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

0.9.1

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.20.3

Operating System

Debian 13

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

Openwebui should ignore self signed certificate errors if AIOHTTP_CLIENT_SESSION_SSL = False when making calls to the document extraction endpoint.

Actual Behavior

The request fails with an Self signed certificate error, in this case, when connecting to a docling instance

Steps to Reproduce

Configure Openwebui to use a Docling endpoint inside the document extraction settings. If this endpoint uses a self-signed certificate, the request will fail with the error mentionned above.

Logs & Screenshots

ERROR    | open_webui.routers.retrieval:process_file:1733 - HTTPSConnectionPool(host='x.x.x.x', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/convert/file (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate (_ssl.c:1016)')))
