how to get the socket module compiled with SSL support

[Kihup Boo]

I am trying to make an HTTPS connection and read that HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL support.

http://www.jython.org/docs/library/httplib.html 

Can someone elaborate on this? Where can I get the socket module for HTTPS, or how do I build one if I have to?

Thanks,

If you got a standard download, chances are it's going to have SSL
support. What error are you getting? Is it specifically telling you
that SSL support is not available? Post a minimal script and its
actual failure.

This is mostly a CPython oriented list. Any prebuilt CPython binary you
get likely has SSL support compiled in. If you want to know about the
jython socket module, you should check on a jython list, or just try it.
