[issue29394] Cannot tunnel TLS connection through TLS connection

[Maximilian Blochberger]

Maximilian Blochberger added the comment:

Okay, I see, thanks for the hint. That worked perfectly – I found `asyncio.sslproto._SSLPipe` very useful for that purpose.

I personally consider the behaviour of `ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket()` unexpected and would raise an exception if that method call is tried on an instance of `ssl.SSLSocket`. But as this would be a change that could lead to backwards compatibility issues (if developers depend on that behaviour) this is probably not a good idea.

I think that the documentation for `ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket()` has this behaviour to avoid future confusion – including a hint to make use of `ssl.SSLContext.wrap_bio()` instead.
