I’m using python 2.7 and I’d like to get the contents of a webpage

  • 0

I’m using python 2.7 and I’d like to get the contents of a webpage that requires sslv3. Currently when I try to access the page I get the error SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO, and some searching on the web lead me to the following solution which fixes things in Python 3

urllib.request.install_opener(urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPSHandler(context=ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1))))

How can I get the same effect in python 2.7, as I can’t seem to find the equivalent of the context argument for the HTTPSHandler class.

    Since I was unable to do this using urllib2, I eventually gave in and moved to using the libCurl bindings like @Bruno had suggested in the comments to pastylegs answer.
