New submission from Petr Messner: Please, is it possible to put more information about the purpose parameter to the documentation of ssl.create_default_context()? It's not obvious that SERVER_AUTH should be used for client sockets and not server sockets. It took me a while to discover this, while all I was getting was only "SSLEOFError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol" (which is also not helpful).
This is especially confusing, because OpenSSL uses serverAuth and clientAuth (for extendedKeyUsage configuration) in the exactly opposite meaning. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 245852 nosy: docs@python, messa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: SSL create_default_socket purpose insufficiently documented type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24516> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
