I just noticed that pip does not support SNI (on Python 2.7.8). This is a bit
problematic for us since we use a private index on a server using SNI, and
right pip always aborts with a certificate error. I found a year old ticket
that seems related (https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1511
<https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1511> ) which suggested installing
pyOpenSSL, pyasn1 and ndg-httpsclient as a workaround. This did not work for me
either: I got a link error during installation.
I am wondering: with Python 2.7.9 about to be released with a backport of
Python 3’s ssl module, can pip start supporting SNI without any external
dependencies? That would be a huge help for people who need to use SNI.
Regards,
Wichert.
