[New-bugs-announce] [issue18369] X509 cert class for ssl module

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

I'm working on a X509 certificate class for the SSL module. Eventually methods like getpeercert() are going to return X509 instances and the Python interface can decide if it should return a dict, DER bytes or whatever. IMHO it's a mandatory requirement for OCSP support, too.

The patch contains a very real proof of concept.
