Jim Fulton added the comment: WRT boolean for SSL, I think it's very common for clients to verify server certificates, but relatively uncommon for servers to require client certificates. The impression I have from reading docs and stack overflow posts that the most common use case for the SSL module is connection to HTTPS sites. For this use case, using a default context makes a lot of sense.
It seems extremely unlikely to me for a server to use a default context. But I'm not an SSL expert. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27392> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
