[New-bugs-announce] [issue32008] Example suggest to use a TLSv1 socket

[Kurt Roeckx]

New submission from Kurt Roeckx <kurt at roeckx.be>:

Here:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname

And here:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname

It uses ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1, which is a bad example. Please change it to PROTOCOL_SSLv23 or PROTOCOL_TLS.

(Those were the first 2 examples I could find via google on how to create an ssl connection using python.)
