I don't have a complete story, but here are some hints: 1. The message is from: http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_get_error.html (see "ZERO RETURN") probably as filtered by PyOpenSSL, which has its own issues: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-August/074322.html 2. Chances are that your certificates are out of whack, or you are misusing the SSL context parameters, or are not telling the HTTP Connection object about the SSL Connection properly. 3. Debugging at the python layer is easier (put print statements in M2Crypto's SSL/Context and SSL/Connection) but if necessary, dive into openssl: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg49287.html 4. You can check for the "hello" handshake using WireShark. 5. I haven't found a tutorial for full Python client/server over HTTPS with verification of both client and server certificates. If that is where you are going, let me know what works. -- Harry George PLM Engineering Architecture -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
