Isn't it better to get HTTP2 client support and just document things better for HTTP2? Or maybe even backport some features from CertificateOptions to factory? DefaultSSLContextFactory seems to work ok for cases outside HTTP2. It is not evidently broken. It is probably less secure than twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions but is really broken beyond repair?

I tried to get started on this yesterday. Unfortunately, the stack of work that requires this means I’ll be chasing after this for a while. Specifically:

- To deprecate ContextManager, we need to remove all instances of it from the code and documentation.
- That’s fine, except that code/docs that used ContextManager used {connect,listen}SSL and friends (because those were the appropriate APIs)
- Which means that we actually need to adjust a huge swathe of docs to use endpoints in order to remove the use of ContextManager.

I’ve gotten started on this, but sadly the {connect,listen} paradigm for SSL is extremely widespread in the Twisted documentation. This means I’m going to generate *several* sizeable tickets that require review just to get to a place where we can actually put the darn deprecation marker on those classes.

I’ve begun by tackling the tutorial in #8588 (https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8588). There are further questions about the pedagogical value of this as “The Twisted Tutorial”, but for now I just want to bring it into 2014.

Anyway, I’ll be spending my Twisted time on this for a while I suspect. This will delay HTTP/2 client support, unfortunately. =(
