3.11.0rc0

Bug fixes

• Raise :exc:aiohttp.ServerFingerprintMismatch exception on client-side if request through http proxy with mismatching server fingerprint digest: aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=headers, connector=TCPConnector(ssl=aiohttp.Fingerprint(mismatch_digest), trust_env=True).request(...) -- by :user:gangj.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:
  #6652.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:
  #6800.

• Made TestClient.app a Generic so type checkers will know the correct type (avoiding unneeded client.app is not None checks) -- by :user:Dreamsorcerer.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:
  #8977.

• Authentication provided by a redirect now takes precedence over provided auth when making requests with the client -- by :user:PLPeeters.
