[New-bugs-announce] [issue39616] SSLContext.check_hostname description is inaccurate wrt match_hostname

[Ville Skyttä]

New submission from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta at iki.fi>:

Doc says "Whether to match the peer cert’s hostname with match_hostname() in SSLSocket.do_handshake()." but match_hostname() is no longer used to do that in the first place, OpenSSL is used for that. check_hostname affects the OpenSSL usage, too.
