https: do not automatically use invalid servername
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Stop automatically setting servername in https.request() if the target
host is specified with an IP address. Doing so is invalid, and triggers
a deprecation warning. It is still possible to send an IP address as a
servername if its required, but it needs to be explicity configured, it
won't happen automatically.
