Looking at the documentation for urlib2 it says it supports HTTPS connections. However what it doesn't make clear is how you enable it do you for example take HTTPBasicAuth and replace the HTTP with HTTPS or do you just need to pass an HTTPS in url when you actually open the connection?
回答1:
< Python 2.7.9:_
You can simply pass an HTTPS URL when you open the connection. Heed the warning in the Urllib2 documentation that states:
"Warning HTTPS requests do not do any verification of the server’s certificate."
As such, I recommend using Python Requests library that provides a better interface and many features, including SSL Cert verification and Unicode support.
Update 20150120:
Python 2.7.9 Added HTTPS Hostname verification as standard. See change comment in https://docs.python.org/2/library/httplib.html#httplib.HTTPSConnection
Thanks to @EnnoGröper for the notice.
