This PR modifies the
psycopg2sample to setsslnegotiation=directas per #150.It does this conditionally based on the underlying
libpqversion, since the samepsycopg2version can be used with multiple versions oflibpq. I verified in the release notes here thatsslnegotiationhas been available since the17.0release and was not added as a minor version bump.At the time of writing, the
psycopg2-binarypackage includeslibpq16.0, which doesn't support thesslnegotiationparameter. I manually checked a version ofpsycopg2compiled againstlibpq17.4 and the direct TLS connection worked properly. I have kept the sample dependency on the pre-built binary, as it's more approachable in terms of the system requirement for running the sample. If/whenpsycopg2-binaryis updated to includelibpq17.0+, it will start usingsslnegotiationwithout any changes here.I added a section to the
README.mdfile which describes more about the TLS configuration, and calls out that direct TLS connections are a new feature and may not be supported by all driver versions. This section was already reviewed in #160, and will be added to all samples which support direct TLS connections.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the MIT-0 license.
