Package ndg :: Package httpsclient :: Module https :: Class HTTPSConnection

Class HTTPSConnection

This class allows communication via SSL using PyOpenSSL. It is based on httplib.HTTPSConnection, modified to use PyOpenSSL.

Note: This uses the constructor inherited from HTTPConnection to allow it to be used with httplib and HTTPSContextHandler. To use the class directly with an SSL context set ssl_context after construction.
