Client support for connecting to HTTPS

Hi,

I am attempting to connect via the python Socket.IO client to a an HTTPS Socket.IO JavaScript server. When connecting via an HTTP link it works fine, but HTTPS returns “connection refused by server”. The equivalent JavaScript client code however is able to connect to HTTPS, so I do not believe the issue is server side.

Here is my python-socketio client code

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client();

@sio.event
def connect():
    print('connection established')

@sio.event
def disconnect():
    print('disconnected from server')

sio.connect('https://myUrl.com')
sio.wait()

And here is the equivalent functioning JavaScript code

const io = require('socket.io-client');
const socket = io.connect('https://myUrl.com', {
    secure: true,
    reconnect: true,
    rejectUnauthorized: false});
socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log("the client connected");
});
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
    console.log("the client disconnected");
});
socket.on('test', function(data) {
    console.log(data)
});

Is there an equivalent to the io.connect options being passed through in JavaScript that needs to be enabled on the python equivalent?

Thanks!

It seems that the dependency python-engineio add an option ssl_verify at commit 51da0bed3c93c41b980bb565560c7233da3501f5 . Currently the last version of the library is python-engineio==3.9.3 and the change is not added yet.

It works right now if update script python-engineio/engineio/client.py for this version and connect using:

socketio.Client(engineio_logger=True, logger=True, ssl_verify=False)

Correct. Next version of python-engineio will support a disable SSL verification option. Coming out later today.
