text: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unsupported protocol
  Bug Description
  When trying to access some sites over https, both python and perl in precise fall over.
  Here's what happens with libwww-perl's GET:
  $ GET "https:/
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  $ GET "https:/
  Can't connect to api.dailymotion
  LWP::Protocol:
  Python throws essentially the same error. These work in lucid, and were working in precise, until very recently.
  $ GET "https:/
  Can't connect to browserid.org:443
  LWP::-Protocol:
  is this a duplicate of bug 861137
  ubuntu 12.04
  I don't get this issue in wget, curl or openssl
  But I do get this issue in python and GET
  import requests
  requests.post("https:/
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/
  return request('post', url, data=data, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/
  return s.request(
  File "/usr/local/
  r.send(
  File "/usr/local/
  raise SSLError(e)
  requests.
  I am attaching two files to add more information to this bug. I used ssldump to capture the handshake between the client machine and https:/
  The file named curl_capture.txt is captured from a curl https:/
  The file named GET_capture.txt is captured from GET https:/
  Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
  I'm not sure if it's related, but I get the similar error:
  urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 1] _ssl.c:504: error:140773E8:SSL routines:
  My case may be related be related to http://
  I'm using Python 2.7.3 on Ubuntu 12.04./966058/ +editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
