windowsservercore: urllib SSL errors

I can't get SSL to work in the container, any ideas welcome:

docker run -it python:3.7.1-windowsservercore
>>> import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen("https://letsencrypt.org/")
Traceback (most recent call last):

Inizia riproducendo il comando documentato python:3.7.1-windowsservercore e la relativa richiesta urllib a letsencrypt.org. Esamina la configurazione dell'attendibilità dei certificati del container e verifica che la stessa richiesta abbia esito positivo senza l'errore di verifica del certificato segnalato.
