I found two places:
if (ERR_GET_REASON(err) == X509_R_CERT_ALREADY_IN_HASH_TABLE) {
if (ERR_GET_REASON(err) == PEM_R_BAD_BASE64_DECODE)
AFAIK the _ssl module only supports PEM certs for loading. On the other hands
cert data can only be retrieved as dict representation or binary DER data, e.g.
getpeercert(binary_form=True) -> DER bytes. It's a bit of a puzzle to me.
It feels a bit strange to treat PEM certs as binary data, especially since the
SSL module treats PEM as ASCII unicode. For example DER_cert_to_PEM_cert()
accepts bytes and returns str, PEM_cert_to_DER_cert() converts str to bytes.
