SSLv3 handshake failure

openssl 1.1.1.d
python 3.8.0
cfscrape 2.0.8

If using DEFAULT_CIPHERS as a suggested workaround for cfscrape cannot solve captchas (#309), I get an SSLv3 error. Downloading the file via requests works fine.

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='edge.forgecdn.net', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /files/2819/400/AbyssalCraft-1.12.2-1.9.13.1.jar (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_read_bytes', 'sslv3 alert handshake failure')])")))

Example code:

#!/bin/python
import os, requests, cfscrape

cfscrape.DEFAULT_CIPHERS = 'TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384'
scraper = cfscrape.create_scraper()

response = requests.get("https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2819/400/AbyssalCraft-1.12.2-1.9.13.1.jar")
print(response)

response = scraper.get("https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2819/400/AbyssalCraft-1.12.2-1.9.13.1.jar")
print(response)

I solved the issue for me with using

cfscrape.DEFAULT_CIPHERS = 'TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:kECDHE'

kECDHE is the relevant cipher for edge.forgecdn.net.

Whatever the issue is, cloudscraper which is a project that I use now as a drop-in replacement got it right, so would be worth to look there
