No test case yet, but the buffering code for SSLFile
looks like it will break pipelined requests.

[birkenfeld]

SSL support was rewritten, so this may be fixed now...

[janssen]

Well, if someone writes test case and verifies it, I'll look at it.

[BreamoreBoy]

is this still an issue or can it be closed as out fo date?

[orsenthil]

This needs investigation. Don't close.

[BreamoreBoy]

Bump.

[amauryfa]

Tried with python2.7.3
I used http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576673-python-http-pipelining/ just replacing the initial call to HTTPConnection() by HTTPSConnection().

The example succeeeds, fetches the three pages, and I checked with strace that the same connection is used for all requests (only reads and writes of encrypted content, no close or connect in between).

Is this enough for closing this issue? Or is there a different way to pipelines requests that we should support?

[pitrou]

The original report is so under-specified that it's pointless to keep it open. If you encounter an actual bug, feel free to open another issue :)
