[issue10274] imaplib should provide a means to validate a remote server ssl certificate(s)

[Antoine Pitrou]

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

Right, IMAP_SSL should first accept an additional context argument as noted in issue10274. Then it can be patched to optionally call ssl.match_hostname on the server certificate. That second part can mimick what is done by HTTPSConnection:
