replying to myself: I investigatet further into this. The problem is that the call to: sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) running from the python prompt results in sock._sock set to: socket object, fd=3, family=2, type=1, protocol=0 while running the same from within a running zope sock._sock is the same as sock and sock._sock._sock is set to: socket object, fd=3, family=2, type=1, protocol=0 Every hint where/why this is happening is welcome ;-) Joachim Schmitz schrieb:

Hi,

In my product I try to connect to a remote https-server with the help of httplib HTTPSConnection. This fails in Zope with the error:

Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Products.AixtraConference.AixtraConference, line 538, in register Module Products.AixtraConference.AixtraConference, line 283, in worldPay Module Products.AixtraConference.Client, line 241, in __call__ Module httplib, line 1032, in connect Module httplib, line 987, in connect Module socket, line 75, in ssl TypeError: ssl() argument 1 must be _socket.socket, not _socketobject

if I run:

python httplib.py which tests the also the httpsconnection this works fine.

I tracked it down to the the following: Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul 28 2004, 09:39:34) [GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) print sock._sock <socket object, fd=3, family=2, type=1, protocol=0>

the same in my zope-product results in: 236 import socket 237 sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) 238 import pdb 239 pdb.set_trace() 240 print sock._sock

<socket._socketobject object at 0xb652c8c4>

Is zope using a different socket module ?
