class http.client.HTTPSConnection(host, port=None, key_file=None, cert_file=None, [timeout, ]source_address=None, *, context=None, check_hostname=None)
A subclass of HTTPConnection that uses SSL for communication with secure servers. Default port is 443. If context is specified, it must be a ssl.SSLContext instance describing the various SSL options.
key_file and cert_file are deprecated, please use ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain() instead, or let ssl.create_default_context() select the system’s trusted CA certificates for you. The check_hostname parameter is also deprecated; the ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname attribute of context should be used instead.
Please read Security considerations for more information on best practices.
Changed in version 3.2: source_address, context and check_hostname were added.
Changed in version 3.2: This class now supports HTTPS virtual hosts if possible (that is, if ssl.HAS_SNI is true).
Changed in version 3.4: The strict parameter was removed. HTTP 0.9-style “Simple Responses” are no longer supported.
Changed in version 3.4.3: This class now performs all the necessary certificate and hostname checks by default. To revert to the previous, unverified, behavior ssl._create_unverified_context() can be passed to the context parameter.
