[issue18617] AIA chasing for missing intermediate certificates on TLS connections

[April King]

April King added the comment:

Err, sorry, I may have been a bit unclear.  AIA chasing is not *universal* amongst browsers.  IE, Edge, Chrome, and Safari perform AIA chasing.  Firefox maintains a cache of intermediate certificate authorities.  I noted that a bit further underneath, but my apologies if it was confusing.

That said, every browser has a some chosen some underlying method to ameliorate this common TLS error.  It would be amazing if Python could similarly resolve this issue for developers.
