Public bug reported:

[Environment]

python3-httplib2 | 0.9.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.2 

[Description]

maas cli fails to work with apis over https with self-signed certificates due to the lack
of disable_ssl_certificate_validation option with python 3.5.

[Steps to Reproduce]

- prepare a maas server(installed by packages for me and the customer). it doesn't have to be HA to reproduce
- prepare a set of certificate, key and ca-bundle
- place a new conf[2] in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled and `sudo systemctl restart nginx`
- add the ca certificates to the host
sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra
sudo cp -v ca-bundle.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/
dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
- login with a new profile over https url
- when not added the ca-bundle to the trusted ca cert store, it fails to login and '--insecure' flag also doesn't work[3]

[Known Workarounds]
None
