Constructor

def _setup_verify(self): (source)

Setup Verify SSL or not

Reads security module's VERIFY_SSL_CERT and toggles whether the class overrides the connect() class method or runs the inherited httplib.HTTPSConnection connect()

Setup CA Certs

Search in CA_CERTS_PATH for valid candidates and return first match. Otherwise, complain about certs not being available.

def connect(self): (source)

Connect

Checks if verification is toggled; if not, just call httplib.HTTPSConnection's connect

def _verify_hostname(self, hostname, cert): (source)

Verify hostname against peer cert

Check both commonName and entries in subjectAltName, using a rudimentary glob to dns regex check to find matches

def _get_subject_alt_names(self, cert): (source)

Get SubjectAltNames

Retrieve 'subjectAltName' attributes from cert data structure

def _get_common_name(self, cert): (source)

Get Common Name

Retrieve 'commonName' attribute from cert data structure
