New submission from David D Lowe:
The documentation for ssl.SSLSocket.getpeercert states:
> If the binary_form parameter is True, and a certificate was provided, this
> method returns the DER-encoded form of the entire certificate as a sequence
> of bytes, or None if the peer did not provide a certificate. This return
> value is independent of validation; if validation was required (CERT_OPTIONAL
> or CERT_REQUIRED), it will have been validated, but if CERT_NONE was used to
> establish the connection, the certificate, if present, will not have been
> validated.
However, in the case that validation is not required, getpeercert does not
return a certificate, even when binary_form is set to True.
