@ -1305,6 +1305,14 @@ The dictionary returned by :meth:`.SSLSocket.getpeercert` contains additional
``X509v3`` extension items: ``crlDistributionPoints``, ``calIssuers``, and
``OCSP`` URIs. (Contributed by Christian Heimes in :issue:`18379`.)
If OpenSSL 0.9.8 or later is available, :class:`~ssl.SSLContext` has an new
attribute :attr:`~ssl.SSLContext.verify_flags` that can be used to control the
certificate verification process by setting it to some combination of the new
constants :data:`~ssl.VERIFY_DEFAULT`, :data:`~ssl.VERIFY_CRL_CHECK_LEAF`,
:data:`~ssl.VERIFY_CRL_CHECK_CHAIN`, or :data:`~ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT`.
OpenSSL does not do any CRL verification by default. (Contributed by
Christien Heimes in :issue:`8813`.)
