Hi,
Just starting to learn python and have noted that at the bottom of this
page:
http://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html
There's a couple of out of date references:
0) RFC 1750 has been been obsoleted by RFC 4086 so maybe this is a
better reference (and I prefer the datatracker view as opposed to the
tools view):
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4086/
Same could be done on this link:
http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/ssl.html
1) RFC 3280 has been obsoleted by RFC 5280 so maybe:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5280/
Same could be done on this link:
http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/ssl.html
2) RFC 4366 has been obsoleted by RFC 6066 so maybe:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6066/
On http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/ssl.html you could probably just
drop the reference and change in the ssl.HAS_SNI section.
3) The link to TLS seems broken maybe just point to:
TLS 1.0 http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2246/
TLS 1.1 http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4346/
TLS 1.2 http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5246/
SSL 3.0 http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6101/
Actually the same link is broken on:
http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/ssl.html
4) (this is a shameless plug) Might be worth adding a reference in the
ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv2 section that points to:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6146/
Cheers,
spt
