how to get the socket module compiled with SSL support in python

0 votes
898 views

I am trying to make an HTTPS connection and read that HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL support.

http://www.jython.org/docs/library/httplib.html

Can someone elaborate on this? Where can I get the socket module for HTTPS, or how do I build one if I have to?

If you got a standard download, chances are it's going to have SSL support. What error are you getting? Is it specifically telling you that SSL support is not available? Post a minimal script and its actual failure.

This is mostly a CPython oriented list. Any prebuilt CPython binary you get likely has SSL support compiled in. If you want to know about the jython socket module, you should check on a jython list, or just try it.

Error with python 3.3.2 and https

I am trying to write a program that requires me hitting a https web link. However, I can't seem to get it to work. The program works fine when dealing with http sites, however, when I try it with a https site I get

socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

It seems like it has something to do with the ssl not working, however, I do have the ssl.py in the python library and I have no problem importing it.

My code is below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import urllib.request
auth = urllib.request.HTTPSHandler()
proxy = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http':'my proxy'})
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy, auth)
f = opener.open('http://www.google.ca/')

Apache: How to check what ciphers are available to the https compiled binary?

How do I checks what ciphers are available to the https compiled binary, and how do I check with of those are active in the configuration?

Is there any technical reason that ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 cannot be used on a server with a self-signed cert (there's no e-commerce or any financial data of any sort on the server).

If an existing server wants to switch so that all traffic is encrypted using DH if possible (interested in implementing Perfect Forward Secrecy) are there any "Gotcha's" lurking in the bushes?

If you enable ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256, should you disable EDH?

To be accessible for most people (including some Windows XP users), what else do I need to enable in the cipher suite? RC4? RC4-SHA? TLSv1? AES?

Which ones do I need to avoid?
