Here's a wierd problem:
I have a little test case for M2Crypto, which just opens up SSL connections to
web servers and reads their certificates. This works fine.
But if I execute
socket.setdefaulttimeout(5.0)
so that the sockets don't wait too long if there's no SSL server, I get
a "peer did not return certificate" exception every time.
Environment:
Windows 2000 SP 4
M2Crypto: M2Crypto-0.17.win32-py2.4.exe
Python: Python 2.4.4 (#71, Oct 18 2006, 08:34:43)
OpenSSL: Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8d
Notes:
Running M2Crypto does NOT use the version of OpenSSL that comes
with Python. You have to install OpenSSL separately, or
M2Crypto's DLL won't find the OpenSSL DLLS.
There's a good chance that this may be related to:
[ python-Bugs-1098618 ] socket.setdefaulttimeout() breaks smtplib.starttls()
But that should have been fixed in Python 2.4.4, right? Or did that patch
not make it in?

(And no, I can't run Python 2.5, because MySQLdb support doesn't work for
2.5 yet.)
