Hi, (disclaimer: this might be a FAQ entry somewhere but I honestly did use Google)
I'm in the process of picking a language for a client application that accesses a HTTPS (actually SOAP) server. This would be easy enough in Python, but I came across a strange fact: neither httplib nor urllib offer the possibility to actually verify the server's certificate. After some digging I've found that from 2.6 onward, the ssl module offers such functionality but it's not trivial, at least for me, to glue that to the HTTP protocol modules (and then those to the SOAP module). Did I miss something? If not, is this feature foreseen, e.g. the trivial build-up of a HTTPS connection while verifying the certificate chain? thanks, Andras -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
