SSL Error #10

Hi

I'm getting the below SSL exception when running my script. We are not proxying outbound connections. The server has a valid certificate signed by Digicert. The root was created in 2006 and so I would expect it to be in the cacerts file. The intermediate (DigiCert Secure Site ECC CA-1) was created about a year-and-a-half ago and so may not be. The script runs fine on my version of java: 1.8.0_161

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: nullSession
