- Metadata-Version: 1.1
- Name: backports.ssl-match-hostname
- Version: 3.4.0.2
- Summary: The ssl.match_hostname() function from Python 3.4
- Home-page: http://bitbucket.org/brandon/backports.ssl_match_hostname
- Author: Brandon Craig Rhodes

- License: UNKNOWN
- 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
- and greater 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.
- Simply make this distribution a dependency of your package,
- and then use it like this::
-
- from backports.ssl_match_hostname import match_hostname, CertificateError
- ...
- sslsock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3,
- cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, ca_certs=...)
- try:
- match_hostname(sslsock.getpeercert(), hostname)
- except CertificateError, ce:
- ...
-
- Note that the ``ssl`` module is only included in the Standard Library
- for Python 2.6 and later;
- users of Python 2.5 or earlier versions
- will also need to install the ``ssl`` distribution
- from the Python Package Index to use code like that shown above.
-
- Brandon Craig Rhodes is merely the packager of this distribution;
- the actual code inside comes verbatim from Python 3.4.

- History
- -------
- * This function was introduced in python-3.2
- * It was updated for python-3.4a1 for a CVE
- (backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.1)
- * It was updated from RFC2818 to RFC 6125 compliance in order to fix another
- security flaw for python-3.3.3 and python-3.4a5
- (backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.4.0.2)
