ValueError:使用套接字和ssl模块时，check_hostname需要server_hostname

ValueError: When using sockets and the ssl module, check_hostname requires server_hostname.

This error occurs when using the socket and ssl modules in Python and the check_hostname parameter is set to True, but the server_hostname parameter is not provided.

The check_hostname parameter is used to enable or disable hostname checking during SSL/TLS handshake. When it is set to True, the ssl module verifies that the hostname matches the one provided in the server_hostname parameter.

To resolve this error, you need to provide the server_hostname parameter when using the ssl module. The server_hostname should be set to the expected hostname of the server you are connecting to. This ensures that the SSL/TLS handshake verifies the server's identity.

Here is an example of how to use the ssl module with the server_hostname parameter:

import socket
import ssl

# Create a socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# Wrap the socket with SSL
ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, server_hostname='example.com')

# Connect to the server
ssl_sock.connect(('example.com', 443))

# Send and receive data
ssl_sock.send(b'Hello, server!')
response = ssl_sock.recv(1024)

# Close the connection
ssl_sock.close()

In this example, we create a socket and then wrap it with SSL using the ssl.wrap_socket() function. We provide the server_hostname parameter with the expected hostname of the server ('example.com' in this case). Then, we connect to the server and perform any necessary data exchange.
