Public bug reported: This week, HTTPS connections from a Python script I wrote started giving me this error:
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:497: EOF occurred in violation of protocol> This used to work up until some three days ago and still works on other Ubuntu versions, but not in other Python versions on Precise. I was suspecting this was a bug in Python, but a guy on AskUbuntu ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/116020/python-https-requests-urllib2-to- some-sites-fail-on-ubuntu-12-04-without-proxy/116059#116059 ) found out this happens using the openssl command line tool too: $ openssl s_client -connect www.mediafire.com:443 But succeeds if forcing TLS 1 with the -tls1 argument. ** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965371 Title: HTTPS requests fail on some sites on Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/965371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
