New submission from Cédric Van Rompay <cedric.vanrom...@gmail.com>:
When calling ssl.get_server_certificate() with a bad port number (I used 80
when I should have been using 443), the error raised is a bit misleading:
>>> import ssl
>>> ssl.get_server_certificate(('gitlab.com',80))
[...]
SSLError: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:847)
"SSL: wrong version number" seems to indicate that there is a mismatch between
SSL versions supported by the client and the ones supported by the server. When
here I guess the problem would better be described as "there is no SSL
available at this address+port".
