Zenfolio is a photo hosting/sharing site with a public API:

http://www.zenfolio.com/zf/tools/api.aspx

I have an app I'd like to try out on pythonanywhere if we can get this whitelisted for free users.

What domain does the API work from? I can't tell from their documentation...

Looking at the request headers I believe it is api.zenfolio.com

OK, that's whitelisted. Let us know if it works!

OK, I can talk to api.zenfolio.com, but not via HTTPS as this gives an EOF error. My app works fine on my computer so I think the problem might be with your proxy. Here is the traceback which goes into stdlib and presumably openssl:

If it helps, here is the request I'm trying to make (taken from the logs: URL, json data, request header)

2014-07-04 00:01:13 https://api.zenfolio.com/api/1.7/zfapi.asmx

2014-07-04 00:01:13 {"params": [873396715, "Full", true], "method": "LoadGroup", "id": 15033}

2014-07-04 00:01:13 {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

If I simply change https to http, the request goes through fine, but it looks like stuff gets broken elsewhere in the app.

I get that same error when I try to run that code without using the proxy. On PythonAnywhere and on a local PC. Makes me suspect a problem at the zenfolio end?

it even happens with curl:

➜  ~  curl https://api.zenfolio.com/api/1.7/zfapi.asmx
curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to api.zenfolio.com:443

Ok, thanks for your help. I'll try to find a workaround.
