Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Thanks for reporting this. This is a documentation issue. As stated in the OpenSSL docs:
"Due to the protocol definition, a TLS/SSL server will always send a certificate, if present. A client will only send a certificate when explicitly requested to do so by the server (see SSL_CTX_set_verify(3))." (Note that you can use CERT_OPTIONAL on the server. This will let through clients without a certificate, but will reject clients with an invalid certificate.) ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, pitrou stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ 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
