# HG changeset patch # User Gregory Szorc # Date 1467254607 25200 # Node ID 5b71a8d7f7ffc2662ceb58ad8eec806e147ae13d # Parent afbe1fe4c44e76572ca5dec8a3921ab6b053c570 sslutil: emit warning when no CA certificates loaded If no CA certificates are loaded, that is almost certainly a/the reason certificate verification fails when connecting to a server. The modern ssl module in Python 2.7.9+ provides an API to access the list of loaded CA certificates. This patch emits a warning on modern Python when certificate verification fails and there are no loaded CA certificates. There is no way to detect the number of loaded CA certificates unless the modern ssl module is present. Hence the differences in test output depending on whether modern ssl is available. It's worth noting that a test which specifies a CA file still renders this warning. That is because the certificate it is loading is a x509 client certificate and not a CA certificate. This test could be updated if anyone is so inclined. diff -r afbe1fe4c44e -r 5b71a8d7f7ff mercurial/sslutil.py --- a/mercurial/sslutil.py Wed Jun 29 19:49:39 2016 -0700 +++ b/mercurial/sslutil.py Wed Jun 29 19:43:27 2016 -0700 @@ -284,7 +284,22 @@ else: caloaded = False - sslsocket = sslcontext.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=serverhostname) + try: + sslsocket = sslcontext.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=serverhostname) + except ssl.SSLError: + # If we're doing certificate verification and no CA certs are loaded, + # that is almost certainly the reason why verification failed.
