Add SSL support

[beauremus]

Here's an HTTPS implementation that seems like it could be useful for our socket communications.

If this post can be believed this is a one-line change after importing the SSL module. This would be a good first issue.

I'll take it, please!

Thanks for volunteering, @potap75 !

What should I use as an upstream master? v1.0.0rc6 ?

[beauremus]

Yes. That's correct.

[potap75]

thank you!

I keep getting: "fatal: branch 'master' does not exist"

[potap75]

When I'm trying to setup a branch in PyCharm: git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/v1.0.0rc6

[beauremus]

Yes. Branch master doesn't exist. The branches are labeled by major version so you want v1.x.

[rneswold]

Strange. We set v1.x to be the default branch so, when you check it out, I would have thought you would get that branch.

This is what I get when I try to set a branch:

Anyways. Maybe I can contribute directly here:

import socket
import ssl

hostname = ''
context = ssl.create_default_context()

with socket.create_connection((hostname, 443)) as sock:
    with context.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname=hostname) as ssock:
        print(ssock.version())
