Hi group, is it possible to use the ssl module using a custom transport? It appears to me as if currently the relationship between ssl.SSLSocket() and socket.socket() is pretty entangled.
Suppose I do have some kind of reliable transport (let's say RS232) and a connection that I have wrapped in a class. The things I can provide are send/recv methods, but nothing specific to UNIX sockets (getsockopt, etc). Could I use the Python ssl module to perform a SSL connection over such a line? Something that I could always use as a workaround would be to open up a listening port locally in one thread and connection to that local port in a different thread, then forward packets. But that's pretty ugly and I'd like to avoid it. Any hints appreciated, Best regards, Johannes -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
