> I think, I was using wrong terminology, by 'sending' I meant, 'using' the ca_file in the client to verify Server's certificates. Then I still don't understand your remarks. You said "is there any reason for the clients in the stdlib are not carrying a ca_file", but this isn't actually true: clients in the stdlib do carry the CA file and do perform verification, see ftplib, nntplib, imaplib, http.client, etc. It's just that it was forgotten in xmlrpc.client.

Then I still don't understand your remarks. You said "is there any
reason for the clients in the stdlib are not carrying a ca_file",
but this isn't actually true: clients in the stdlib *do* carry
the CA file and *do* perform verification, see ftplib, nntplib,
imaplib, http.client, etc. It's just that it was forgotten in
xmlrpc.client.
