Hi *, I have just started to learn python and I am having a problem with an python client connecting to a perl server using ssl (I tried this with pyOpenSSL and with the build in SSL Module).
I don't want to check a cerificate, so i simply tried a from OpenSSL import SSL s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(("127.0.0.1", 2000) s.sendall("100 Hello\n") ctx = SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv23_METHOD) ctx.set_verify(SSL_VERIFY_NONE,self.verify_cb) ss = SSL.Connection(ctx,s) ss.set_connect_state() ss.sendall("101 User\n") when writeing the 101 I'll get an SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO unknown protocol error. If I don't do the ssl stuff, everything works. I also tried this with the socket.ssl(s,None, None) to get a secure socket - but I got the same error. The server is not written by me - so I can't change that to python. The problem is, that there is first an unencrypted socket, that is converted to a secure socket. the perl (server) code is something like this: # creating a socket $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(Listen => 5, LocalPort => 2000, Timeout => 15, Resue => 1, Proto => 'tcp'); # some more code # accepting a remote connection $session = $socket->accept; # some more code # convert the Socket to an ssl socket $sslsocket = IO::Socket::SSL::socket_to_SSL($session, SSL_verify_mode => 0x00) # some more code Does anybody know, where the UNKNOWN PROTOCOL error comes from? I have changed the connection Mode to SSLv2_METHOD but this gave me an GET_SERVER_HELLO read wrong packet type error. I have done this with python 2.3.4 under linux - and the perl stuff is done via the IO-Socket-SSL package. Thx, Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
