Weird SSL problem

Mon Sep 29 05:12:15 EDT 2014

Hi!
I’m trying to access 
https://stsadweb.one.microsoft.com/adfs/.well-known/openid-configuration
Doing it the simplest way I get the following:
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("https://stsadweb.one.microsoft.com/adfs/.well-known/openid-configuration")
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 87, in urlopen
 return opener.open(url)

>>> import ssl
>>> ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION
’OpenSSL 0.9.8za 5 Jun 2014'
Now, using Safari, or curl for that matter, from the same machine works without a hitch.
The URL above is also the only URL I’ve encountered this problem with.
Anyone got an idea ?
