3. Information about the python-backports-ssl_match_hostname.noarch package on Amazon Linux 2

Loaded plugins: ovl, priorities
Available Packages
Name : python-backports-ssl_match_hostname
Arch : noarch
Version : 3.5.0.1
Release : 1.amzn2
Size : 13 k
Repo : amzn2-core/2/x86_64
Summary : The ssl.match_hostname() function from Python 3
URL : https://bitbucket.org/brandon/backports.ssl_match_hostname
License : Python
Description : The Secure Sockets layer is only actually secure if you check the
: hostname in the certificate returned by the server to which you
: are connecting, and verify that it matches to hostname that you
: are trying to reach.
:
: But the matching logic, defined in RFC2818, can be a bit tricky to
: implement on your own. So the ssl package in the Standard Library
: of Python 3.2 now includes a match_hostname() function for
: performing this check instead of requiring every application to
: implement the check separately.
:
: This backport brings match_hostname() to users of earlier versions
: of Python. The actual code is only slightly modified from Python
: 3.5.
