Description
Our corporate proxy doesn't enforce the basic constraints extension as critical for his root certificate.
This causes an issue with the new SSL default flag in python 3.13.
It is possible to disable it. See: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.13.html#ssl
It worked without issue when I modified install-poetry.py
What's your opinion on this given that even some certs from certifi have this issue in the latest version ?
We could also add an argument I guess.

Research direction
Start with install-poetry.py and the Python 3.13 SSL changes linked in the issue. Reproduce the failure with a certificate that lacks a critical basic constraints extension, then determine the intended installer behavior and how it should be tested. Done means the Python 3.13 installation path handles the reported certificate case without weakening validation unexpectedly.
