aerickson / PyCurlSSLFixOnUbuntu

Last active December 16, 2018 11:34

how to rebuild PyCurl against OpenSSL on Ubuntu (12-13+)

	XBMC uses pycurl/libcurl to fetch stuff. YouTube requires the RC4
	cipher that GnuTLS has removed for security reasons (or doesn't allow
	it to be selected, or XBMC doesn't allow to specify the cipher...).
	PyCurl linked against OpenSSL can take the RC4 argument and make the
	Youtube plugin work (Ubuntu ships it linked against GnuTLS), so we
	need to rebuild to make it work.
