Yup, and this value is available as SSLSocket._sslobj.server_hostname. But SSLSocket.server_hostname is not this, it is what was passed to the constructor which can be a bytes instance. For total cleanness maybe the constructor should raise a TypeError if server_hostname is passes as a bytes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
