Package: python2.7 Version: 2.7.13-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I tried to connect to likc.me using urllib2.urlopen("https://likc.me"). This server is configured with ECC keys, and has no issues serving most clients. Sllabs reports no errors. I am on Stretch. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Switching to Jessie. On Jessie, urllib2.urlopen returns with no errors, as expected. * What was the outcome of this action? $ python2 Python 2.7.13 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:48:08) [GCC 6.3.0 20170118] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from urllib2 import urlopen >>> urlopen("https://likc.me") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 429, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 447, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 407, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1241, in https_open context=self._context) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1198, in do_open raise URLError(err) urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:661)> * What outcome did you expect instead?
