[issue10852] SSL/TLS sni use in smtp, pop, imap, nntp, ftp client libs by default

[Antoine Pitrou]

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

I understand this patch relies on #10851. As I said there, I would rather have SSLContext become the primary API, and the stdlib standardize on it. Part of the stdlib, as you have witnessed, already allows the user to pass a custom SSLContext, which is very simple way of allowing for custom user settings. There are two open issues for imaplib (#8808) and smtplib (#8809).
