Metadata-Version: 1.1
Name: ndg_httpsclient
Version: 0.4.2
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 ndg/httpsclient/LICENCE file for details
Description:
A HTTPS client implementation for
* ``httplib`` (Python 2), ``http.client`` (Python 3) and
* ``urllib2`` (Python 2) and ``urllib`` (Python 3)
... 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 using ``pyasn1``.
Releases
========
0.4.2
-----
* Fix to bug in ``ndg.httpsclient.utils.open_url`` - duplicate open call.
Nb. This bug and the fix DO NOT affect the ``httplib``and ``urllib2``
interfaces that this package provides.
0.4.1
-----
* Added explicit ref to Python 3 in classifier text for Python 3 checking tools.
* Moved LICENSE file into package
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.
