RXWorker not pulling in data

[Humble-Helper-96]

Has anyone gotten this to work recently? I have been trying to get this to work for the past 24 hours and nothing. I have ADSB data coming in from an API that I can verify, it appears that RXWorker has access to it but it does nothing and the whole process fails. I am trying to test the feasibility of this for a first responder related TAK system.

When I start the application I get the following output and nothing more:

USER@MACHINE:~$ adsbcot -c /etc/adsbcot/adsbcot.ini

Warning: pyrtlsdr not installed (required for using RTL-SDR devices)!

My .ini file:

GNU nano 6.2 /etc/adsbcot/adsbcot.ini

Network and feed URL settings

feed_url = https://api.adsb.lol/v2/point/61.16/-149.83/75
cot_url = tcp://<MY_SERVER_IP>:8087

Feed-related settings

alt_lower = 0
alt_upper = 60000
cot_host_id = adsbcot@MACHINE
cot_stale = 120

Polling and frequency settings

poll_interval = 10

Logging settings

log_level = DEBUG # This will log to terminal

Additional ADSBCot-specific settings can go here if required

Monitoring the ports shows no activity, likely b/c I can't even get data input.
USER@MACHINE:~$ nc -l 8087

Been wrestling with this myself. on a whim, I changed the feed URL from https to http (even though the end point redirects to https). When that redirection happens, the adsbcot application crashes out complaining about self signed certificates. We need a way to tell the system to ignore SSL cert validation when looking at the feed like it does when talking to TAK Server.
