Mark Kubacki added the comment: Python 2.7 is still used in production.
Given the scarcity of IPv4-addresses — and with CDNs (think: Amazon, Akamai, EdgeCast…) starting to offer HTTP+SSL — the need for SNI arises in order to avoid pitfalls such as shared certificates. The lack of ubiquitous support for TLS SNI could cause delays in HTTPS-everywhere–deployments. Therefore, in the light of the latest revelations about mass surveillance, I'd like even to argue that this is a matter of security and privacy. ---------- nosy: +markk _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
