buildout.disablessl 1.0

buildout.disablessl

setuptools-0.7 introduced verification of SSL certificates. This feature, however, is not configurable (yet?), which makes it impossible to install packages from a custom package index with a self-signed certificate, for example.

This package is a very small, monkey-patching buildout extension that simply sets “ssl avaiable” to false. Use it like so:

[buildout]
extensions = buildout.disablessl

WARNING: Using this extension disables SSL verification (duh), so you make yourself susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks (among other things). Use with caution!
