Unable to start web2py 2.15.2 with ssl

[José Leite]

With the following command line in windows I get:

C:\web2py\web2py.py -a admin -i 192.168.8.100 -p 443 -c server.crt -k server.key -Y

That's actually a bug. It should be

elif not rocket.has_ssl:

You can fix it directly in your gluon/main.py to solve your problem until a version with the fix is released.

[José Leite]

Ok Leonel,

correction done but the rocket server can not provide a secure connection anyway. Is it a missing feature in the new version or am I doing something wrong?

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

[Leonel Câmara]

You are running a python version that was not compiled with ssl support. Since this is a development environment you could simply not demand https if the request is_local.  

[José Leite]

Well Leonel,

before I upgraded to web2py 2.15.2 Python was working fine with ssl even locally.

I have python 2.7.11 exactly because I needed the newest ssl protocols to work with PayPal.

Strange...!?!?!?!!?

[José Leite]

But you are right maybe I don't need it locally.

[Leonel Câmara]

Still, probably a bug if it still doesn't work with the has_ssl change, submit an issue.

[José Leite]

Thanks, just submitted the issue.

If there was any version information shown with that , you didn't paste it here.  My weak translation of the error message suggests you're running on a Windows machine; are you running the exe file or from source?  (The exe uses it's own Python.  I would have expected it to have SSL support, but I don't test that currently, so can't vouch for it  Windows is my home web2py development environment.)

Yes I am running on a windows machine and run web2py from the .exe file not from source.

The command line is:

C:\web2py\web2py.py -a admin -i 192.168.8.100 -p 443 -c server.crt -k server.key -Y

but it doesn't start the https version of the site and all https://* calls to externeal services are not working either.

No SSL from the moment I upgraded to web2py 2.15.2.

[José Leite]

Sorry I meant from source not .exe

When you start web2py, it will print not only its own version but the version of python it is using.  Can you confirm that information here?

/dps

[José Leite]

It doesn't print that information but the admin console says its Python 2.7.11 and after my upgrade 2.7.13

[José Leite]

Python 2.7.11 worked fine before the web2py upgrade. But I even tried to update the version to the new 2.7.13 (all 32bit - the machine is 64).

Just to be way too into verification, can you open a regular python shell, and do "import ssl" and "ssl.RAND_status()" ?

In the meantime, someone who actually knows something may be along

/dps

[José Leite]

I did as you asked and in a shell did

import ssl

ssl.RAND_status() is 1L

[José Leite]

Actual Rocket code:

------------------------------------------------------------

# Import System Modules

import sys

import time

import socket

try:

    import ssl

    has_ssl = True

except ImportError:

    has_ssl = False

# Import Package Modules

# package imports removed in monolithic build

# TODO - This part is still very experimental.

# from .filelike import FileLikeSocket

[José Leite]

If I import ssl directly in the main.py module I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\web2py\web2py.py", line 21, in <module>

    import gluon.widget

  File "C:\web2py\gluon\widget.py", line 26, in <module>

    import ssl

  File "C:\Python27\lib\ssl.py", line 126, in <module>

    from _ssl import HAS_SNI, HAS_ECDH, HAS_NPN, HAS_ALPN

ImportError: cannot import name HAS_ALPN

Included the fix in 2.15.3 but please check it in case I got it wrong.
