[New-bugs-announce] [issue30231] test_imaplib needs a TLS server accepting self-signed certificates

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The public cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu IMAP server (port 993) doesn't accept TLS connection using our self-signed x509 certificate. The following two tests of test_imaplib were skipped by the issue #30175:

* test_logincapa_with_client_certfile() of RemoteIMAP_SSLTest
* test_logincapa_with_client_ssl_context() of RemoteIMAP_SSLTest

We should either remove these tests or spawn an IMAP server which accepts such certificate on pythontest.net.

@Benjamin: Is there someone available to build such IMAP server on pythontest.net? Or do you suggest to just remove the 2 unit tests?
