New submission from David D Lowe: The documentation for ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert states:
> If the binary_form parameter is True, and a certificate was provided, this > method returns the DER-encoded form of the entire certificate as a sequence > of bytes, or None if the peer did not provide a certificate. This return > value is independent of validation; if validation was required (CERT_OPTIONAL > or CERT_REQUIRED), it will have been validated, but if CERT_NONE was used to > establish the connection, the certificate, if present, will not have been > validated. However, in the case that validation is not required, getpeercert does not return a certificate, even when binary_form is set to True. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: test.tar.gz messages: 186999 nosy: Flimm priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert does not return client certificate type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29867/test.tar.gz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17739> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
