Research direction

Start by tracing AuthClient initialization to the discovery_doc request at https://developer.intuit.com/.well-known/openid_configuration/. Compare the urllib and requests behavior mentioned in the report, and determine whether the intermittent SSLError originates in the client or the endpoint. Done means the cause is established and a concrete, reproducible resolution is identified.

Description

We are getting an error "HTTPSConnectionPool(host='developer.intuit.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /.well-known/openid_configuration/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLEOFError(8, '[SSL: UNEXPECTED_EOF_WHILE_READING] EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:1006)')))"
When we initialize AuthClient in the lib, which in turn tries to fetch discovery_doc from url https://developer.intuit.com/.well-known/openid_configuration/

Seems like the urlib / requests lib used in the project might be the culprit, did you have some similar issues like this?
Although we are getting this issue from time to time, it is creating inconsistent experience
