Thanks, I tried googling 'python ssl certificate' and I am still not finding answers.
I think part of my problem is that I am not clear on what is going on under the covers. I have found an example of connecting via https here<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/117004>but that seems to require a "certificate file", which I don't have (that I am aware of). When I point my web browser at the infinite campus URL, it first responds with a certificate warning, saying that the certificate might be registered to a different site. So, this must be where the server is sending the certificate file to my browser. If I could capture and save that file, I could then probably use the example mentioned above with httplib.HTTPSConnection() to connect to the server. So, I guess my question comes down to how do I connect to the first URL, without a certificate file, and then receive the response back with the certificate file, so that I can then reconnect using the certificate? Anyone have some sample code out there for this? - Gardner On Dec 20, 2007 10:26 PM, Terry Reedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Gardner Pomper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > | Hi, > | > | My daughter's school just put up an "Infinite Campus" website, which > | requires a login and does everything through https.
