Subject: [pyOpenSSL] Accessing DC fields of X509_NAME struct
Message-ID: <422F7030.80107@ag.com>

Hello.

The documentation for OpenSSL.crypto.X509Name makes no mention of the DC 
fields of the X509_NAME struct being accessible... however, I need to 
read the value for a project I'm currently working on.
I decided to try accessing ".DC" on an X509Name instance anyway and 
noticed that it is in fact available. Problem is, I can only seem to 
access the first DC field.

So, my question: is it possible to access multiple DC fields via 
pyopenssl, or did I just stumble upon an oddity that's best left alone 
until a future release?

Thanks.

btw - I am running pyopenssl 0.6, Python 2.3.3, RH Linux.

Subject: [pyOpenSSL] certificate chain verification
Message-ID: <4248B2EB.9000006@lbl.gov>

I would like to add another feature to pyopenssl. It would allow for a 
different certificate chain verification callback. The callback
would give access to the X509_STORE_CTX structure. The current callback 
function globus_verify_callback is ok, but it doesn't do
everything that our project needs. So I would like to add anther 
callback that would pass this data structure up to Python.

That being said, I was wondering what the plans are for the next release 
of pyopenssl. I have submitted a patch that allows session
resumption and now I want to add another feature to pyopenssl, but I 
also need to have these features be in a release in the
near future, the last release was in August.  I would be willing to 
spend time working on the release of pyopenssl, and even
becoming a developer on the project.

I've been pretty happy with the functionality that pyOpenSSL provides, 
and I would like to work on improving this
software.

What are people's thoughts on another release?

Thanks
