I've checked in the asyncore SSL patch, and the Windows buildbots are failing on the HTTPS test. I believe it's due to this insane differentiation between between text files and binary files, a bad idea introduced by Windows and perpetuated (apparently) by Python. I can't believe this wasn't eliminated in py3k!
The binary/text distinction is being increased in Py3k rather than reduced (the API for binary files uses bytes, the API for text files uses Unicode strings).
Cheers, Nick.
