Public bug reported:
Importing M2Crypto patches `urllib.urlopen` to "better" support https
(possibly a hangover from when urllib didn't support it at all?). The
version in natty does not correctly process the end of the response, and
takes approximately 300 seconds to return.
Example:
import urllib
d = urllib.urlopen("https://www.google.com/";).read() # returns almost at once
from M2Crypto import SSL
d = urllib.urlopen("https://www.google.com/";).read() # returns about 300
seconds later
These should be equivalent.
