[issue5639] Support TLS SNI extension in ssl module

[Dima Tisnek]

Dima Tisnek added the comment:

Is this really not going into Python2 series?

It's not a Python feature or a language feature, it's a matter of exporting OpenSSL feature.

Furthermore it's a matter of security, same as support for session tickets is a matter of performance.

SNI was first introduced in 2004, RFC in 2006, libcurl supported it from 2008, you had a patch since 2009 and still it's not in?

Are you guys intentionally trying to cripple Python2?

What do you think is likelier outcome, faster Python3 adoption or Python  labelled insecure?
