- Metadata-Version: 1.1
- Name: ndg_httpsclient
- Version: 0.4.0
- Summary: Provides enhanced HTTPS support for httplib and urllib2 using PyOpenSSL
- Home-page: https://github.com/cedadev/ndg_httpsclient/
- Author: Richard Wilkinson and Philip Kershaw
- Author-email: Philip.Kershaw@stfc.ac.uk
- License: BSD - See LICENCE file for details
- Description:
- This is a HTTPS client implementation for httplib and urllib2 based on
- PyOpenSSL. PyOpenSSL provides a more fully featured SSL implementation over the
- default provided with Python and importantly enables full verification of the
- SSL peer.
-
- Releases
- ========
- 0.4.0
- -----
- * Made dual compatible with Python 2 / 3.
-
- 0.3.3
- -----
- * Fix to add in AnotherName for ``subjectAltNames`` field - added for support for CACert issued
- certs (thanks to Gu1).
- * Fix to HTTP Basic Auth option for ``ndg.httpsclient.utils.main``
- * Fix to ``ServerSSLCertVerification`` so that it can pass a function-based callback instead of using ``__call__``. In newer versions of OpenSSL (>= 0.14) the latter failed because of a request for ``__name__`` attribute.
-
- 0.3.2
- -----
- * Fix to SubjectAltNames support check - should only be enabled if pyasn1 is
- installed.
- * Fix to open_url: HTTP Request object was being created inside if headers is
- None block - now corrected to create regardless.
- * Added http basic auth support to script. (Thanks to Willem van Engen)
-
- 0.3.1
- -----
- * extended utils functions to support keyword for passing additional urllib2
- handlers.
-
- 0.3.0
- -----
- * Added ndg.httpsclient.utils.fetch_stream_from_url function and added
- parameter for data to post in open_url and fetch_* methods.
- * fix to ndg.httpsclient.utils module _should_use_proxy and open_url functions
-
- 0.2.0
- -----
- * added support for SSL verification with subjectAltNames using pyasn1
- * fixed minor bug - SSL cert DN prefix matching
-
- 0.1.0
- -----
- Initial release
-
- Prerequisites
- =============
- This has been developed and tested for Python 2.6 and 2.7 with pyOpenSSL 0.13 and 0.14.
- Version 0.4.0 tested with pyOpenSSL 0.15.1 and Python 2.7 and 3.4. Note that proxy support
- is only available from Python 2.6.2 onwards. pyasn1 is required for correct SSL
- verification with subjectAltNames.
-
- Installation
- ============
- Installation can be performed using easy_install or pip.
-
- Running ndg_httpclient
- ======================
- A simple script for fetching data using HTTP or HTTPS GET from a specified URL.
-
- Parameter:
-
- ``url``
- The URL of the resource to be fetched
-
- Options:
-
- ``-h, --help``
- Show help message and exit.
-
- ``-c FILE, --certificate=FILE``
- Certificate file - defaults to ``$HOME/credentials.pem``
-
- ``-k FILE, --private-key=FILE``
- Private key file - defaults to the certificate file
-
- ``-t DIR, --ca-certificate-dir=DIR``
- Trusted CA certificate file directory.
-
- ``-d, --debug``
- Print debug information - this may be useful in solving problems with HTTP or
- HTTPS access to a server.
-
- ``-p FILE, --post-data-file=FILE``
- POST data file
-
- ``-f FILE, --fetch=FILE``
- Output file
-
- ``-n, --no-verify-peer``
- Skip verification of peer certificate.
