I suppose. Certainly, none of the "default" cases are affected. The problem is it's impossible to have cert validation w/o hostname checking by passing a context to some higher level API than HTTPSConnection (like xmlrpclib) because HTTPSConnection tries to be clever. Ideally, the check_hostname argument wouldn't exist, and everything would come from the context. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22959> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
