Is the timeout the only way to handle this kind of TLS handshake error?

For example consider the EchoServer and EchoClient code. If I use a TLS client with a TCP4 server, I do not get a handshake exception until I abort the connection.

I'd like my send message to be able to raise the <class 'OpenSSL.SSL.Error'>: [('SSL routines', 'ssl23_read', 'ssl handshake failure'). But for some reason it seems to get lost until I abort the connection. Does this sound familiar to anyone? > > What I've done for now is setup a Timeout mixin so that after my client.send, if I do not get an ACK back (which my particular protocol does) within two minutes, I just abort the connection. This then calls connectionLost with the correct SSL.Error. But if it's in the error queue (and found during the course of abortConnection then isn't there a way to find it sooner? Like before my timeout and before I call send on the client protocol? > > Thanks! _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list [email protected] https://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
