Summary: SSL support in socket module needs tests

Initial Comment:
SSL support in the socket module should have a
regression test, either in test_socket.py or in a
separate test_ssl.py file.

I'd suggest an approach similar to the one in test_socket,
i.e. test only if can_fork. As for the certificates: I think
they should be generated in advance and included into the
test suite.

There is currently an extremely minimal test in
test_socket_ssl.py, but it is fairly bogus because it
requires an outside network connection.  The only test there
just tries to hit https://sf.net.

Ideally, there would be a set of regression tests that only
required local resources.  I.e. it would set up a local SSL
server, then do connects to it to test the various SSL
features in socket module.

Take a look at test_socket_ssl.py in the 2.2 cvs and see if
you can improve matters.  From what I understand, the tricky
part is generating all the necessary certificates, etc.

Also, if you intend to work on this, please log in to SF to
continue this dialog so we know who we're talking to! :)

I may be able to help with this.  I'm fairly familiar with
SSL in general, though not about the socket module.
What's needed?
