Opening a SSL socket connection in Python

Question

I\'m trying to establish a secure socket connection in Python, and i\'m having a hard time with the SSL bit of it. I\'ve found some code examples of how to establish a conn

Answer 1

I was looking for a good working ssl socket that starts the connection with a https package. This helped me a lot but is a little outdated, so here is the code for python3:

import socket
import ssl

package = "GET /ws/LiveWebcastUpdate/22000557 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 
www.website_name.com\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; 
rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0\r\nAccept: */*\r\nAccept-Language: nl,en- 
US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3\r\nSec-WebSocket-Version: 13\r\nOrigin: 
https://www.website_name.com\r\nSec-WebSocket-Key: 
NU/EsJMICjSociJ751l0Xw==\r\nConnection: keep-alive, Upgrade\r\nPragma: no- 
cache\r\nCache-Control: no-cache\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\n\r\n"

hostname = 'www.website_name.com'
port = 443

context = ssl.create_default_context()

with socket.create_connection((hostname, port)) as sock:
    with context.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=hostname) as ssock:
        print(ssock.version())
        ssock.send(package.encode())
        while True:
            data = ssock.recv(2048)
            if ( len(data) < 1 ) :
                break
            print(data)

This is as simple as possible, for more information visit https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html
