SSL security authorization?

[Anand Pillai]

The current HTTPSHandler in urllib2 does not handle
SSL certificate validation. These are used by websites
for validation of users, instead of raw HTTP password
validation, which is supported by HTTPBasicAuthHandler.

How about adding an HTTPSPasswordMgr handler to urllib2
which does HTTPS authorization by using the SSL certificates?
I am not sure of the details of how this is done, but it
sounds like it will be useful.

If this is done, urllib2 can be used to access urls which
does authorization via SSL. I dont think it can be done now.

Correct me if I am wrong :->

Thanks
