Description
I'm attempting to use simple-http-server with mkcert to create valid certs for local development. I'm generating a P12 cert with mkcert, but simple-http-server rejects it with mac verify failure.
Here's a recording of the process:

I'd guess this isn't simple-http-server's issue, just reporting it in case there's a known fix, or if anyone can point me to the library that's emitting the error (hyper?).

No source file or test is identified. Reproduce the failure with a mkcert-generated P12 certificate and trace the mac verify failure, checking the certificate-loading path and the possible hyper dependency mentioned in the report. Done means identifying whether the fix belongs in simple-http-server or a dependency and documenting the result.
