Recommended action: Fix/upgrade the server or proxy to support secure renegotiation. If you must connect, enable legacy connect narrowly for that client (e.g. Python 3.12+ ctx.options |= ssl.OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT, or an OpenSSL config with Options = UnsafeLegacyServerConnect scoped via OPENSSL_CONF for that process).
Option: Fix the peer; otherwise enable legacy connect narrowly [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Legacy servers/proxies you can't upgrade immediately
Steps:
1. Ask the server/proxy owner to enable RFC 5746
2. Python >= 3.12: ctx = ssl.create_default_context(); ctx.options |= ssl.OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT for that client only
3. Other tools: per-process OPENSSL_CONF with Options = UnsafeLegacyServerConnect
Expected: Handshake succeeds
