<p dir="auto">We applied this patch to our code base and it seemed to work fine. However, in the meantime I arrived at the same conclusion as described in <a href="https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/pull/116#issuecomment-862709507" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/ipxe/ipxe/pull/116/hovercard">#116 (comment)</a>, reverted the patch and instead switched to the shorter Let's Encrypt certification chain: <code>R3 -> ISRG Root X1</code> instead of <code>R3 -> ISRG Root X1 -> DST Root CA X3</code>. Our certificate chain is now only 2887 bytes long although we use 4096-bit RSA keys. It is probably worth pointing out that linking to <code>DST Root CA X3</code> is kind of pointless as this root certificate expired <code>Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:01:15 UTC</code>.</p>

<p dir="auto">This may be a solution for you or other users of Let's Encrypt, but many other people have other long certificate chains, so we need a general solution. I cannot understand why this patch does not get merged.</p>
