Thanks for the hint.
I'll probably do this after the freeze, so here is a little brain
dump:
- this is needed for python >= 3.4.3.
- rss2email does not make the requests itself, it just passes a URL
to feedparser.
- on the feedparser side, the only extension mechanism is to pass a
"handlers" kwarg to feedparser.parse(). It's then passed to
urllib2.build_opener(). There does not seem to be a way to pass a
context parameter to urllib2 there.
The python bug tracker suggests to monkeypatch the ssl module to
disable verification:
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
It's a bit hacky, but seems simpler than patching feedparser to accept
a context argument (I would argue that fetching feeds is not
feedparser's job anyway). I would go with that solution.
