[New-bugs-announce] [issue23749] asyncio missing wrap_socket

[Giovanni Cannata]

New submission from Giovanni Cannata:

It's not possible to wrap a socket in tls. The StreamWriter object should have an option to start a tls negotiation using the SSLContext of the server.

This is needed for protocols the have a "start_tls" feature, for example the ldap protocol.

In a non async program it's very easy: 
   wrapped_socket = ssl_context.wrap_socket(connection.socket, server_side=True, do_handshake_on_connect=True)

there should be something similar in the StreamWriter interface:
   yield from writer.wrap_socket()

Bye,
Giovanni
