Comment 1 for bug 965507

So, changing to an https url only solves the problem halfway. It turns out twisted's web client does not verify certs. That is also a problem for the backend charm store (https://store.juju.ubuntu.com). I am expanding this bug then, to include that url as well and clarifying the title to represent the true nature of the problem.

txaws includes twisted code to verify the certs on Ubuntu systems, so I will add that. This may mean that the client breaks on other systems such as OS X since OS X will not have its CA certificates in /etc/ssl.
