Is HTTPSConnection thread-safe?

[Joe Wong]

Hi,

 I have a small program using HTTPSConnection to issue a POST on the server. When multiple threads of the same program is running, I got the error:

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\threading.py", line 436, in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\threading.py", line 416, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
  File "mcstest.py", line 27, in thread_func
    conn.request("POST", CGI_PATH, params, headers)
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 718, in request
    self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 739, in _send_request
    self.endheaders()
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 712, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 597, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 564, in send
    self.connect()
  File "c:\python23\lib\httplib.py", line 985, in connect
    ssl = socket.ssl(sock, self.key_file, self.cert_file)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\socket.py", line 73, in ssl
    return _realssl(sock, keyfile, certfile)
sslerror: SSL_CTX_new error

in random order. Is there any fix / patches for this?

Regards,

- Joe
