🦙 MegaLinter status: ✅ SUCCESS
See detailed report in MegaLinter reports You could have the same capabilities but better runtime performances if you use a MegaLinter flavor:

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Let's standardize these logs a bit more -- e.g., use ... here and above or remove it as part of "Fetching certificate extension value..." and similar

When issues occur during aTLS connection establishment, it is unclear what the problem is, since there is currently no logging. With this change, one may write in the calling package: logging.basicConfig() logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG) and see useful logging as connections are established.

Clock Skew and Logging
Note: Commits can be reviewed independently.
When validating JWT tokens, the PyJWT package validates the
IAT(Issued At) claim strictly: it must be exactly less than the time now. This requires the issuing service and the validating system to have synchronized clocks. Otherwise, even a few milliseconds of skew forwards on the service or backwards in the validator can cause the library to claim that a token was issued in the future.There is much discussion in that library as to whether verifying that IAT is strictly in the past is a good idea, particularly since the JWT specification does not state that one must do so.
This PR adds a 5s leeway to time validation to account for this. This PR also adds optional logging so that issues like this can be more easily discovered.
