[issue9003] urllib about https behavior

2010-06-15 Thread geremy condra 

New submission from geremy condra debat...@gmail.com:

urllib currently blindly accepts bad certificates when passed an https address. 
This behavior, clearly not desirable for many users, is also not documented. I 
propose one of two changes:

1) add mechanisms for enforcing correct behavior to urllib, or
2) change the documentation for that module to include something akin to the 
following warning:

Warning: urllib does not perform certificate checks if passed an HTTPS url! 
This permits remote machines to masquerade as your intended destination.
