Description Martin Prpič 2015-03-17 14:19:21 UTC 
It was reported that python-restkit does not properly validate SSL/TLS certificates:

It appears to simply use ssl.wrap_socket from the standard library, which does not do any validation by default. This can be verified by doing:

    >>> from restkit import request
    >>> r = request("https://tv.eurosport.com/";)
    >>> r.body_string()
    '<HTML><HEAD>...'
