A big warning is now present (*) in the urllib and httplib documentation pages.
Also, once issue1589 is fixed, we can go forward and make
{http.client,urllib.request} check hostname and cert if the user gives the
location of a bunch of CA certs.
(*) see e.g. http://docs.python.org/dev/library/urllib.request.html
----------

commonName in certificate
