[Bug 965371] Re: HTTPS requests fail on sites which immediately close the connection if TLS 1.1 negotiation is attempted, on Ubuntu 12.04

[Félim Whiteley]

KillerKellerjr are you refering to http://code.google.com/p/libsrvrmgrd-
osx/ ? That's my plugin. I've had someone edit the file to fix the issue
http://code.google.com/p/libsrvrmgrd-osx/issues/detail?id=16

If you want to join in to that bug I can try help you there...

Marc, I think the issue is the fact that there is no way to update
Servers to get around this or disable it in the client, it is Apple, not
renowned for being open/responsive to external factors. While I agree
they should all handle TLS correctly the fact is they don't and
userspace appears to be broken.

Bug description:
  This week, HTTPS connections from a Python script I wrote started
  giving me this error:

  urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:497: EOF occurred in
  violation of protocol>

  This used to work up until some three days ago and still works on
  other Ubuntu versions, but not in other Python versions on Precise. I
  was suspecting this was a bug in Python, but a guy on AskUbuntu (
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/116020/python-https-requests-urllib2
  -to-some-sites-fail-on-ubuntu-12-04-without-proxy/116059#116059 )
  found out this happens using the openssl command line tool too:

  $ openssl s_client -connect www.mediafire.com:443

  But succeeds if forcing TLS 1 with the -tls1 argument.
