It seems to have worked, thanks. Not immediately, but after waiting
~20 minutes the certificate is now updated. I am working on an update
for all branches 3.2+ and 2.7; I expect test_httplib will be broken
until I fix it.

BTW <https://self-signed.pythontest.net/> is giving me a 403 Forbidden
response, but it was doing this before I pushed my change, so I think
it’s not my fault :)
