Thanks Ned!

the issues are related to TLS 1.3 and client cert authentication. TLS
1.3 dropped renegotiation in favor of rekeying and post-handshake
authentication. PHA is required for conditional authentication in HTTP,
e.g. when a server only requires authentication for some paths or
request methods.

PR https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/14421 fixes a regression in my
PHA code for Python's ssl module. OpenSSL behaves slightly differently
than documented. SSLContext.post_handshake_auth = True also enabled
server cert validation. Alex has reviewed the PR but likes to have a
second opinion.

PR https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/14448 enables PHA for http.client.
