The Python 2.7.3 and 2.6.8 Windows builds are both built against "OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009".

This specific version of OpenSSL had renegotiation removed due a security vulnerability. Except from http://svn.python.org/projects/external/openssl-0.9.8x/NEWS.

  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.8l and OpenSSL 0.9.8m:
      ...
      o Support for RFC5746 TLS renegotiation extension.
      ...
  Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.8k and OpenSSL 0.9.8l:

      o Temporary work around for CVE-2009-3555: disable renegotiation.

Can the OpenSSL version be updated to at least OpenSSL 0.9.8m so renegotiation is supported?

@Cory the latest version of openssl is 1.0.1g for Python 2.7.7.  Please see PEP 466 and issue 21462
