[Bug 1067888] [NEW] Https verification + usage + support

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Currently we have limited https verification and support.

The inbuilt urllib2 will try to use it, but no verification occurs (and
there isn't an easy way to specify a incoming certfile to use).

The boto library we are calling for metadata also needs to have the same
params/support to use it (this seems to be solved).

Some ideas:

- just the url_helper file + boto that this might affect
- https://github.com/boto/boto/commit/ad0f4aa82a8f30522b0ce3e40e40f145080bf955
- https://github.com/boto/boto/blob/develop/boto/https_connection.py might be something we can 'borrow'/use
- https://github.com/boto/boto/blob/develop/boto/connection.py might in general be useful to use directly as well
