OSError - ssl_handshake_status:-40

[pythoncoder]

Very likely. But see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3140. From a quick scan it seems the solution is at hand if you don't mind building firmware or can wait for release 1.9.2.

Yes, idk when v1.9.2 gets release. Can you guide me how to start building my own firmware? What programming language i should i use? I've no clue in building a firmware. If you have any tutorials please link it up.

Or start a new topic titled something like "SSL help requested."

No. Please rename the title of this thread so it was descriptive and corresponded to the problem discussed here.

[kannan]

@pfalcon like you said I've renamed the title. Btw as you said in https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3140, I've checked with all the builds including today's build it isnt working so i just created a new issue stating my issue. Please have a look at this https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3198

Can you guide me how to start building my own firmware?

See the README.mdhttps://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... er/esp8266

[EDIT]
I've just spotted that daily builds are now available which may suit your purpose https://micropython.org/download/#pyboard (scroll down for ESP8266).

@pycoder, the server is using DHE , ECDHE ciphers and micropython doesnt support either of these. I should now change the cipher of the server which micropython supports. Micropython uses axTLS library, @pfalcon gave the original axTLS documentation link which is http://axtls.sourceforge.net Can you see the documentation and tell me which ciphers supports in micropython?
