Hi, I was googling fot quite some time and was not really succesfull.
I found one solution, which I will try soon. It is http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~danken/xmlrpc-ssl.html (found in http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/python-il/2008-February/000029.html ) This will probably work, but it requires the module M2Crypto. In order to avoid installing M2Crypto an all hosts that want to run the script I wondered, whether there is no other solution. I can do xmlrpc over ssl WITHOUT certificates with following code: import xmlrpclib server_url = 'https://myserver' server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url); and I can perform a https get request WITH certificates with below snippet: import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection( HOSTNAME, key_file = KEYFILE, cert_file = CERTFILE ) conn.putrequest('GET', '/') conn.endheaders() response = conn.getresponse() print response.read() I'm just lost of how to 'combine' both. Thanks in advance for any suggestions / hints N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
