Alexander Sosedkin commented:


as of d78beb5d it looks much better. Unsolicited compressed certs result in alerts, and I think now it's just the alerts that might need tweaking:

* No compression algorithms enabled, sending compressed certificates results in "decode error", I've expected "unexpected_message" (based on my interpretation of the generic rule of https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8446#section-4).
* Some compression algorithms enabled, sending certificates compressed with an unsupported algorithm results in "illegal_parameter", I've expected "bad_certificate" (not super confident about that one. I've based my understanding on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8879#section-4-7, will happily stand corrected if there's some other rule applicable here).
