Adding SSL Support to SocketServer

Question

I have a Server based on ThreadingTCPServer. Now Ii want to add SSL Support to that Server. Without SSL it works fine but with SSLv3 I cant connect a Client to the Server, it always throws an exception: Error 111 Connection Refused. The error mens there's no SSL Server on that port.

I added the SSL Support based on an example I found here at Stackoverflow. Here's my code:

Server:

class BeastServer(SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn, SocketServer.TCPServer):

    def __init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass, bind_and_activate=True):
        SocketServer.BaseServer.__init__(self, server_address,
                                                        RequestHandlerClass)
        ctx = SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv3_METHOD)
        cert = 'server.pem'
        key = 'key.pem'
        ctx.use_privatekey_file(key)
        ctx.use_certificate_file(cert)
        self.socket = SSL.Connection(ctx, socket.socket(self.address_family,
                                                        self.socket_type))
        if bind_and_activate:
        #self.server_bind()
        #self.server_a

Client:

class Client(object) :

    def verbinden (self, ip_) :

        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(s, cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED,
                    ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3, ca_certs='server.pem')
        ssl_sock.connect((ip_, 10012))

        return ssl_sock

The key and certificate file is created using open SSL. I hope somebody can tell me what the problem is.

thanks for your help

best regards patrick

Only use the standard library

Server side :

from SocketServer import TCPServer, ThreadingMixIn, StreamRequestHandler
import ssl

class MySSL_TCPServer(TCPServer):
    def __init__(self,
                 server_address,
                 RequestHandlerClass,
                 certfile,
                 keyfile,
                 ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1,
                 bind_and_activate=True):
        TCPServer.__init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass, bind_and_activate)
        self.certfile = certfile
        self.keyfile = keyfile
        self.ssl_version = ssl_version

    def get_request(self):
        newsocket, fromaddr = self.socket.accept()
        connstream = ssl.wrap_socket(newsocket,
                                 server_side=True,
                                 certfile = self.certfile,
                                 keyfile = self.keyfile,
                                 ssl_version = self.ssl_version)
        return connstream, fromaddr

class MySSL_ThreadingTCPServer(ThreadingMixIn, MySSL_TCPServer): pass

class testHandler(StreamRequestHandler):
    def handle(self):
        data = self.connection.recv(4096)
        self.wfile.write(data)
#test code
MySSL_ThreadingTCPServer(('127.0.0.1',5151),testHandler,"cert.pem","key.pem").serve_forever()

Client side :

import os
import socket, ssl

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(s,
                           ca_certs="cert.pem",
                           cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED,
                           ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
ssl_sock.connect(('127.0.0.1',5151))
ssl_sock.send('hello ~MySSL !')
print ssl_sock.recv(4096)
ssl_sock.close()

works well
