[issue8108] test_ftplib fails with OpenSSL 0.9.8m

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

After thinking a bit about it, we're in quasi-feature freeze now for 2.x and it doesn't sound reasonable to add options to unwrap(); we would need to write tests to exercise these options and their behaviour. Also, they aren't strictly needed to fix the issues at hand, but provide a functional benefit.

So I've taken some of Darryl's ideas and fixes and incorporated them. Here is a new patch with them. I've checked compatibility with OpenSSL 1.0.0 and 0.9.8k. If nobody manifests him/herself I will commit it soon.

(note: I dropped the idea of checking for application data with SSL_peek(), since it seems to be a blocking call; at least one of the test_ssl test cases froze here)
