Subject: support for alternate links in LE responses
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:39:05 -0600
To: bug-Crypt-LE [...] rt.cpan.org
From: "Christopher Murley" <murley [...] townnews.com>
Is anyone already working to support the alternates links in LE responses? The server MAY provide one or more link relation header fields [RFC8288] with relation “alternate”. Each such field SHOULD express an alternative certificate chain starting with the same end-entity certificate. This can be used to express paths to various trust anchors. Clients can fetch these alternates and use their own heuristics to decide which is optimal. This would be needed to support the LE announcement where they are transitioning to their own root CA? https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/transition-to-isrgs-root-delayed-until-jan-11-2021/125516/2 If noone is, we may begin work on a patch. Thank you for your consideration.

I reported this 8 days ago on github https://github.com/do-know/Crypt-LE/issues/57 No answer from author. It would be great if you provide the patch, i agree to test it :)
I'll have a look at the RFC and practical application of that.
This should now be resolved in beta (https://github.com/do-know/Crypt-LE/tree/beta) and will be pushed to CPAN sometime next week.
