Description
When the CRL fetch is performed I’m receiving an HTTPS SSL handshake failure error.
I think this is because the fetch is done by the urllib module and this doesn’t have the certificates (that I’ve registered with the validator. via the intermediates arg) they are required for the CA which is over HTTPS signed using the same certificate chain.
What’s the correct approach to this situation?

Research direction
Start by tracing the CRL fetch path and its use of Python's urllib HTTPS handling, then compare it with how certificates supplied through the validator's intermediates argument are used. Done means establishing the correct certificate-chain behavior for an HTTPS CRL fetch and covering the SSL handshake case with a regression test.
