[Tutor] SSL Suggestions

[Kent Johnson]

If you need to talk to a web server using HTTPS, I think the urllib 
module supports HTTPS directly. Try something like

import urllib
data = urllib.urlopen('https://myserver.com/myresource').read()


If you need a socket-level interface, look at the sockets module, it has 
an ssl() function that creates an SSL connection.
