I had not noticed that when it went by. Nice improvement. Too bad there is not a reasonable way to document that if SSL is enabled for net/py-urllib3 that other workarounds might be necessary. Part of the issue is that the workarounds would likely not go in (or be for) net/py-urllib3 , development/llvm* being a type of example of that. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
