it looks like this addressed in urllib3 in version 1.8: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/master/CHANGES.rst#18-2014-03-04

I never thought that there would be a cert with > 64 subject alt names! :) 64 is just a convenient default from code I adapted for use with this package. As you say, there doesn't seem to be a hard-limit - looking at https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5280.txt I don't think there'll be an easy way to dynamically allocate an arbitrary number of names in the code. When I can get to a decent Internet connection I'll investigate. Failing that I suggest bumping up the limit to 1024. Hopefully no one will want a cert with that many.

I've commited the fix in devel and tested it against https://files.pythonhosted.org. I explicitly set it to match the wildcard *.pythonhosted.org. Please give it a try.

I could make a change to the SAN verification to support wildcards explicitly or it may be better to leave control to the caller to explicitly set the hostname to match.

Release on to PyPI as version 0.5.0
