[New-bugs-announce] [issue25674] test_ssl (test_algorithms) failures on bolen-ubuntu slaves: sha256.tbs-internet.com unknown host

[David Bolen]

New submission from David Bolen:

It appears that the test host (sha256.tbs-internet.com) used by test_algorithms in test_ssl.py no longer exists.

It was showing up as a certificate failure in the test because it ended up falling back to a resolv.conf search path which yielded a host that did do SSL but obviously with the wrong certificate.

What I can't yet understand is why this is not causing issues on other slaves.  I suppose some might be skipping the test if SNI was not supported, but surely not all of them?
