Yes, my patch implements hostname checking in httplib (although I haven't had time to do much testing). I also made the documentation changes, but have not yet created any test cases since there really aren't any HTTPS test cases in the test_httplib.py file (which is probably another issue that nee

There's also the patch to httplib that Devin Cook has been working on for SSL enhancements, some of which do name checking. He's got most of a patch completed. On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Bill Janssen wrote: > Heikki, I'm OK with this, too.  would you like to propose an extended > API for th

2009-09-10 Thread Bill Janssen
Heikki, I'm OK with this, too. would you like to propose an extended API for the SSL module? That would give us a starting point to talk about. This should probably be a PEP, just for the sake of writing things down. As you say, the hostname checking feature seems to me possibly appropriate for

Re: [Python-Dev] Controlling the cipher list for SSL connections

2009-09-10 Thread Chris Frantz
Bill, I agree that it's usually better to let the SSL implementation pick the ciphers. I have a certain device that I'd like to talk to that is running on an underpowered embedded CPU. When I let OpenSSL pick the ciphers, it chooses something like EDH-RSA-AES-SHA and takes about 3.5 seconds to

Bill, For now, using pyOpenSSL is acceptable. I just discovered that the web.py framework wants pyOpenSSL. Since my project is also using web.py, I'll need pyOpenSSL anyway. Thank you, --Chris On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 1:14 PM, Bill Janssen wrote: > Chris, > > OK, seems reasonable.  Thanks.  In

Chris, OK, seems reasonable. Thanks. In the near term, can you do this with M2Crypto or PyOpenSSL? When I started this update in 2007, we were trying to keep the API simple to avoid confusing people and avoid competition with the two full-fledged toolkits out there. But I don't see any real re

Re: [Python-Dev] Controlling the cipher list for SSL connections

2009-09-10 Thread Bill Janssen
Thanks, Chris. Can you explain why you want to set the cipher list explicitly? IMO, it's usually better to select a security scheme (TLS1, or SSLv3, etc.), and let the implementation pick the cipher list. Bill Chris Frantz wrote: > Done. > > Attached to Issue 3597, which is a similar request
