Looks like a bug in the `ssl` module, not `asyncio`. Refer to https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/710 IMO `ssl` module should be prepared for this. I'd say post a bug to cpython and see what core devs have to say about it :) Please note exact versions of python and openssl ofc. my 2c: openssl has been a moving target every so often, it's quite possible that this change in the API escaped the devs. On 21 June 2017 at 19:50, Mark E.

If a task is cancelled while SSL is being negotiated, then an SSLError is raised, but there's no way (as far as I can tell) for the caller to catch it. (The example below is pretty contrived, but in an application I'm working on, the user can cancel downloads at any time.) Here's an example:
import asyncio, random, ssl
async def download(host): ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context() reader, writer = await asyncio.open_connection(host, 443, ssl=ssl_context) request = f'HEAD / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: {host}\r\n\r\n' writer.write(request.encode('ascii')) lines = list() while True: newdata = await reader.readline() if newdata == b'\r\n': break else: lines.append(newdata.decode('utf8').rstrip('\r\n')) return lines[0]
async def main(): while True: task = asyncio.Task(download('www.python.org')) await asyncio.sleep(random.uniform(0.0, 0.5)) task.cancel() try: response = await task print(response) except asyncio.CancelledError: print('request cancelled!') except ssl.SSLError: print('caught SSL error') await asyncio.sleep(1)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(main()) loop.close()
Running this script yields the following output:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK request cancelled! HTTP/1.1 200 OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK <asyncio.sslproto.SSLProtocol object at 0x7fe7c00e5a20>: SSL handshake failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/base_events.py", line 803, in _create_connection_transport yield from waiter File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/tasks.py", line 304, in _wakeup future.result() concurrent.futures._base.CancelledError
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/sslproto.py", line 577, in _on_handshake_complete raise handshake_exc File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/sslproto.py", line 638, in _process_write_backlog ssldata = self._sslpipe.shutdown(self._finalize) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/sslproto.py", line 155, in shutdown ssldata, appdata = self.feed_ssldata(b'') File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/sslproto.py", line 219, in feed_ssldata self._sslobj.unwrap() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/ssl.py", line 692, in unwrap return self._sslobj.shutdown() ssl.SSLError: [SSL] shutdown while in init (_ssl.c:2299)
Is this a bug that I should file, or is there some reason that it's intended to work this way? I can work around it with asyncio.shield(), but I think I would prefer for the asyncio/sslproto.py to catch the SSLError and ignore it. Maybe I'm being short sighted.
Thanks, Mark
