Comment on Trusting All Certificates In Jython by Brandon

Strange, I don’t know what is going on there. Using Jython 2.5.2 and Java 1.6:

xxx@xxx:~$ jython Jython 2.5.2 (Release_2_5_2:7206, Mar 2 2011, 23:12:06) [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_26 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from javax.net.ssl import SSLContext >>> SSLContext.getDefault() javax.net.ssl.SSLContext@21b38cdc >>>

I’d like to use your code but when I try to use SSLContext.getDefault(), I get an AttributeError : type object ‘javax.net.ssl.SSLContext’ has no attribute ‘getDefault’. Do you know how to deal with this ?

(I use Jython 2.5.2)

Thanks for the jython version, like you I didn’t really want to have a java file sitting around just because I had to.

I would recommend making your decorator conditionally wrap the function it is decorating rather than unconditionally:
def trust_all_certs(f):
try: from javax.net.ssl import SSLContext
except ImportError: return f

def w(*args, **kargs):
…stuff in the “if ‘java’ in sys.platform” block…

In addition *I* would personally use the try except ImportError rather than using the “if ‘java’ in sys.platform” because if it’s able to import the modules I would assume it is the correct platform (and I feel it’s more pythonic)

Hi Brandon,

If you don’t mind, I’ll just include a link to my original article about this, in case there any problems with the jython.

All the best,

Looks like there were a ton of plugins for wordpress to display posts on Twitter, I am using just a widget for the sidebar called Twitter Widget Pro, it was free despite the Pro tagline…it works great but the dates are a little off, says I posted things like 40 years ago…guess I can say I was the very first Twitterer!
