adding the 'makefile' method to ssl.SSLSocket, and importing the
requisite fakefile class from socket.py, and making the appropriate
changes to it to make it use the SSL connection.
Added sample HTTPS server to test_ssl.py, and test that uses it.
Change SSL tests to use https://svn.python.org/, instead of
www.sf.net and pop.gmail.com.
Added utility function to ssl module, get_server_certificate,
to wrap up the several things to be done to pull a certificate
from a remote server.
* Much expanded test suite:
All protocols tested against all other protocols.
All protocols tested with all certificate options.
Tests for bad key and bad cert.
Test of STARTTLS functionality.
Test of RAND_* functions.
* Fixes for threading/malloc bug.
* Issue 1065 fixed:
sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket.
sslerror class renamed to SSLError.
Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket.
* Issue 1583946 finally fixed:
Support for subjectAltName added.
Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs.
* SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror".
* RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py.
* Documentation improved:
Example of how to create a self-signed certificate.
Better indexing.
1) Improve the documentation of the SSL module, with a fuller
explanation of certificate usage, another reference, proper
formatting of this and that.
2) Fix Windows bug in ssl.py, and general bug in sslsocket.close().
Remove some unused code from ssl.py. Allow accept() to be called on
sslsocket sockets.
3) Use try-except-else in import of ssl in socket.py. Deprecate use of
socket.ssl().
4) Remove use of socket.ssl() in every library module, except for
test_socket_ssl.py and test_ssl.py.
