aiohttp can't get https on centos5

[Lupino]

when i request an https url it raise ValueError: check_hostname requires server_hostname, but it's not supported by your OpenSSL library

>>> import asyncio
>>> import aiohttp
>>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
>>> res = loop.run_until_complete(aiohttp.request("get", "https://www.123rf.com"))

Can you 'get' it with requests library? What version of OpenSSL is installed?

[Lupino]

I test the requests it successful to get https://www.123rf.com

As I know CentOS 5 is not shipped with Python 3.4 so you probably build Python manually. And looks like your OpenSSL library is old enough, it doesn't support Server Name Indication (SNI) extension (OpenSSL 0.9.8+ required).

Anyway the problem lies into asyncio library, not aiohttp itself.
