Here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname And here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname It uses ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1, which is a bad example. Please change it to PROTOCOL_SSLv23 or PROTOCOL_TLS. (Those were the first 2 examples I could find via google on how to create an ssl connection using python.)
