Try to download a tarball from mpfr.loria.fr with Lix.
See failure.

Describe the solution you'd like

No failure.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Fixing it in curl (documented as a TODO)
  • Burning the Internet to the ashes

Additional context

TLS AIA is a mechanism to retrieve more intermediate certificates.
Came up with Hydra obviously. Python is affected equally, browsers are not as they implement TLS AIA.

I think we should burn the Internet to ashes. If curl doesn't support this then what package manager does?!
