Hello there. I wanted to do some work on the ssl module, but I was a bit daunted at the prerequisites. Is there anywhere that I can get at precompiled libs for the openssl that we use? In general, gettin all those "external" projects seem to be complex to build. Is there a fast way?
What I want to do, is to implement a separate BIO for OpenSSL, one that calls back into python for writes and reads. This is so that I can use my own sockets implementation for the actual IO, in particular, I want to funnel the encrypted data through our IOCompletion-based stackless sockets. If successful, I think this would be a useful addition to ssl. You would do something like: class BIO(): def write(): pass def read(): pass from ssl.import bio = BIO() ssl_socket = ssl.wrap_bio(bio, ca_certs=...) I am new to OpenSSL, I haven't even looked at what a BIO looks like, but I read this: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-users&m=99909952822335&w=2 which indicates that this ought to be possible. And before I start experimenting, I need to get my OpenSSL external ready. Any thoughts? Kristján
