Ray Chason added the comment: OK, I got a copy of the Subversion sources and the new SSL library looks like just what is needed here. Examining the other protocol modules that already support SSL, I find these things:
httplib has: HTTPConnection(host[, port[, strict[, timeout]]]) HTTPSConnection(host[, port[, key_file[, cert_file[, strict[, timeout]]]]]) poplib has: POP3(host[, port[, timeout]]) POP3_SSL(host[, port[, keyfile[, certfile]]]) imaplib has: IMAP4([host[, port]]) IMAP4_SSL([host[, port[, keyfile[, certfile]]]]) smtplib has: SMTP([host[, port[, local_hostname[, timeout]]]]) SMTP_SSL([host[, port[, local_hostname[, keyfile[, certfile[, timeout]]]]]]) Now nntplib as it stands has no SSL-using variant. The existing factory method is: NNTP(host[, port[, user[, password[, readermode[, usenetrc]]]]]) What seems most consistent with the other modules is to define: NNTP_SSL(host[, port[, keyfile[, certfile[, user[, password[, readermode[, usenetrc]]]]]]]) __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1926> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
