sslutil: display a better error message when CA file loading fails
Before, sslcontext.load_verify_locations() would raise a
ssl.SSLError which would be caught further up the stack and converted
to a urlerror. By that time, we lost track of what actually errored.
Trapping the error here gives users a slightly more actionable error
message.
The behavior between Python <2.7.9 and Python 2.7.9+ differs. This
is because our fake SSLContext class installed on <2.7.9 doesn't
actually do anything during load_verify_locations: it defers actions
until wrap_socket() time. Unfortunately, a number of errors can occur
at wrap_socket() time and we're unable to ascertain what the root
cause is. But that shouldn't stop us from providing better error
messages to people running a modern and secure Python version.
tests: add test for empty CA certs file
smf reported that an environment with no loaded CA certs resulted
in a weird error. I'd like to detect this a bit better so we can
display an actionable error message.
The actual error being globbed over in this patch is "unknown error"
with a ssl.c line number. That isn't useful at all.
internals: move the bitmanipulation routines into its own file
This is to allow more flexibility with the C sources -- now the
bitmanipulation routines can be safely imported without importing Python.h
journal: new experimental extension
Records bookmark locations and shows you where bookmarks were located in the
past.
This is the first in a planned series of locations to be recorded; a future
patch will add working copy (dirstate) tracking, and remote bookmarks will be
supported as well, so the journal storage format should be fairly generic to
support those use-cases.
httpclient: update to
54868ef054d2 of httpplus
As of that revision, httpplus fully supports Python 3, including
mimicing all the subtle behavior changes around headers in Python 3's
http.client.
revset: check invalid function syntax "func-name"() explicitly
Before the error was caught at func() as an unknown identifier, and the
optimizer failed to detect the syntax error. This patch introduces getsymbol()
helper to ensure that a string is not allowed as a function name.
