Your python is a bit old, so it doesn't support SNI.

To be fair the error message is pretty helpful.

I'm starting to see this more and more as some bigger providers start to cut  
over to SNI.

I just use a command: to fire off curl, that works fine (I don't fancy upgrading  
all my servers python versions just yet).

Thanks for the help.

Like I said my field is not IT related, so if you could give me an exemple how to do that I appreciate.

```auto
Python 2.7.10 is the first version to have decent SNI support

```
