Does not support SNI

[danielcherubini]

Hey

So according to this
dlundquist/sniproxy#153

python < 2.7.9 does not support sni, which is what a few unblockers like mine use to get around geofences..

would it be possible to upgrade python and support sni, or do you want me to do it and issue a pull request

We can't upgrade python as such, as it's built into kodi. It basically requires a few python modules and a binary copy of openssl.
I think the easiest would be to put local copies of all the required modules (as listed on the stackexchange page) in a folder in the plugin, as well as new enough copy of openssl binary for a few platforms in another folder and put the right folder into the part before importing the modules.
I don't really have time for it now, by all means give it a go, hopefully you can find a less hacky way to fix it?

Commit 1114699 adds the first functioning framework to address this issue, and appears to be working fine on my OSX 10.10 development machine.
Each platform will need a binary pyOpenSSL python module added, instructions for how to do this are in resources/lib/pyOpenSSL/init.py
