Hey folks, I find myself in need of being able to speak HTTPS in Python on Windows. The docs say that one needs to recompile Python to activate this, so I was wondering: 1. Does anyone know if this has been done for Python 2.1.1; or, 2. Does anyone know of online references as to how to accomplish this on Windows? Please respond off-list if you can help. I'll summarize to anyone interested. Thanks, Rob (Sorry for the off-topic request - but the web protocol and python knowledge in this group is most impressive and I thought it would be short work to get an answer.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm very interested in these questions as well. (Sorry I don't know the answers.) I would prefer the responses go to the list so we can see the conversation unfold. If we settle upon a solution, I'd be happy to describe it in the Webware docs for the benefit of future users. -Chuck |

What do you need to do with HTTPS? Serve it? Or access an HTTPS server as a client? If you need to serve HTTPS, you can use Apache with mod_ssl. You can download Apache + mod_ssl for Windows at http://www.modssl.org/contrib/ I'm using the one called Apache_1.3.20-Mod_SSL_2.8.4-OpenSSL_0.9.6a-WIN32.zip For client-side usage, check out M2Crypto at http://www.post1.com/home/ngps/m2/ . We're using its XML-RPC functionality in a Python client to access an XML-RPC server (written using Webware/Apache/mod_ssl) securely. -- - Geoff Talvola gtalvola@NameConnector.com |
