New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:

httplib.client does not enable post-handshake authentication for TLS 1.3 
connections. PHA is necessary for TLS 1.3 connections to servers that have 
conditional client cert authentication. For example Apache mod_ssl uses PHA 
when only certain paths or request methods require a client cert to 
authenticate a client.

Since TLS 1.3 is enabled by default with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and TLS 1.3 is preferred 
over TLS 1.2, the lack of PHA extension breaks backwards compatibility.
