python-backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.7.0.1-2.noarch.rpm

Description:

The Secure Sockets layer is only actually secure if you check the
hostname in the certificate returned by the server to which you are
connecting, and verify that it matches to hostname that you are trying
to reach.

But the matching logic, defined in RFC2818, can be a bit tricky to
implement on your own. So the ssl package in the Standard Library of
Python 3.2 now includes a match_hostname() function for performing
this check instead of requiring every application to implement the
check separately.

This backport brings match_hostname() to users of earlier versions of
Python. The actual code inside comes from Python 3.7 with small
changes for portability.
