t.i.ssl : module documentation

Part of twisted.internet View Source

SSL transport. Requires PyOpenSSL (http://pyopenssl.sf.net).

SSL connections require a ContextFactory so they can create SSL contexts. End users should only use the ContextFactory classes directly - for SSL connections use the reactor.connectSSL/listenSSL and so on, as documented in IReactorSSL.

All server context factories should inherit from ContextFactory, and all client context factories should inherit from ClientContextFactory. At the moment this is not enforced, but in the future it might be.

Future Plans: Maintainer: Itamar Shtull-Trauring
