Just forwarding this in case anybody here can shed light on this -- urllib's support for SSL client certificates didn't work for me, and I'm wondering if it works for anybody else...

Wayne, and anybody else who uses client certificates and is inclined to help out: could you try running this script, after replacing HTTPS_URL with a URL on the secure site you're trying to access, and KEY_FILE and CERT_FILE with the full filenames where you keep those? I'm afraid you have to convert the p12 file into separate PEM-format key and cert files using e.g. OpenSSL: openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in cert.p12 -out cert.pem openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in cert.p12 -out key.pem HTTPS_URL = "https://example.com:443/restricted/foo.html"; KEY_FILE = r"c:\blah\blah\key.pem" CERT_FILE = r"c:\blah\blah\cert.pem" import urllib urllib.URLopener(key_file=KEY_FILE, cert_file=CERT_FILE, ) r = urllib.urlopen() print r.read() John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
