Ok then,
What OS is the Zope (or more specifically Apache/IIS/Whatever) server running on and what version of openSSL or (insert your sll lib here) is it running?
I just tried the latest and greatest External Editor (V0.6) under Win XP but couldn't get it to work over SSL with the files (libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, _socket.pyd) provided by the installer. However, if I instead used the files in <http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/misc/python22-win32-ssl.zip> then all is well. I don't have much of an understanding of what is happening under the bonnet here and so can only offer this as a bit of empirical evidence.
This is actually the Python SSL library complaining about the server not following the protocol correctly. This is a know issue on Solaris, and possibly other OSes given the specific openssl versions (and IIS too).
I was using it against a Linux box running RedHat 7.3. Our production boxes run Solaris - is this still known to be an issue? TIA Paul -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning@bristol.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/
