Does the server use a self-signed certificate?  That is, one which is
not certified by a CA in the default CA list which comes with libcurl?

The problem is that libcurl does not support self-signed certificates,
so you have to add the 'svn+' prefix to make bzr use a different access
method.

I think if you had Python 2.6, there is a new Python-native network
layer bzr will take advantage of instead of 'pycurl' that would
support things the Right Way (i.e., without requiring you to specify
'svn+'), but I may be wrong... bzr devs, is this right?
