On a SSLContext with check_hostname = True, calling wrap_socket(..., server_side=True) will complain that no server hostname has been passed. This should only be done for client sockets.

(of course, it may be better to have separate contexts for client and server use, but it can also be convenient to use a single context - especially when doing tests :-))
