Alecz added the comment: Actually, because of issue 18543, urlopen will not use the custom opener if one was defined, instead, it will create a new opener with check_hostname = True.
So it is impossible to skip hostname checking without overriding the urlopen method. I don't understand why can't we allow check_hostmane to be set to False in urlopen and also why we don't allow custom openers to be used by urlopen if specifying a ca*. Moreover this forced restriction is not documented. I had to go to the source code to figure out why it wasn't working. This issue being resolved makes it even more misleading. ---------- nosy: +Alecz Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36068/urlopen-explained.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17483> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
