[New-bugs-announce] [issue8655] Problem with getpeercert in the ssl module when retrieving client side certs

[Westly Ward]

New submission from Westly Ward <sonicrules1234 at gmail.com>:

I originally had this problem when writing my IRCd, but then tested it in a basic script.  The problem is that getpeercert() is always returning None when executed on the server side, even when the client is using an ssl cert.  I have included an example in the attachment.  Just run sslserver.py in one terminal window, and then run sslclient.py in the other.  I also included the two fresh ssl certs and keys I used.  In client.txt and server.txt I put the commands I used to generate the ssl certs and keys.
