Instead of the ca* arguments it currently takes, these can all be encapsulated into an SSLContext argument, which the underlying http.client already supports.

Attached patch against the default branch adds support for this.

Added a versionchanged directive to the docs.

New patch switches to a ValueError and includes a test case that it's raised.

With the final review comment addressed, this could go in. Since you have commit rights, please feel free to commit it. (else, please assign this to me and I will commit and follow up with the buildbots)

New changeset c0b0dda16009 by Senthil Kumaran in branch 'default':
Issue #22366: urllib.request.urlopen will accept a context object (SSLContext)
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c0b0dda16009
msg227081 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2014-09-19 07:26
Committed this in 3.5. (Since this is adding an new argument, it should not be backported to 3.4).

Thank you!

Alex said he needed this in order to implement PEP 476, and I thought PEP 476 was going in to 3.4 (hopefully for 3.4.2, which I'm tagging in like 24 hours).
msg227092 - (view) Author: Nick Coghlan (ncoghlan) * (Python committer) Date: 2014-09-19 13:30
Larry, it's probably easiest to cover the backport under issue 22417 with the rest of the proposed PEP 476 changes.
msg227101 - (view) Author: Senthil Kumaran (orsenthil) * (Python committer) Date: 2014-09-19 14:20
My worry is not about the timing. I can add it immediately, but are we convinced on having a new argument (API Change) for 3.4.2 ?
