Repository : appstream
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.
