It's also not supported by python urllib or feedparser (at least not by default), meaning any attempt to connect to a service that requires SNI (cloudfront is one) fails during handshake.

This is doubly annoying for checking blogs that require https and redirect http. I have no way to check their RSS feeds.

Read this Python bug report for the painful story of SNI support in Python, 2009 through 2014.
