[New-bugs-announce] [issue19509] No SSL match_hostname() in ftp, imap, nntp, pop, smtp modules

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

None of the TLS/SSL classes for ftp, imap, nntp, pop and smtp have support for match_hostname() in order to verify that the SSL cert matches the host name. I'm not sure how we can handle the problem without creating backwards incompatibilities.
