I thing there is a bug in MyCache.py :
`if res.scheme == "https" and res.username != "":`
The value of `res.username` is `None` when it is not set, not the empty
string.
Code from UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py :
```
def _get_changelog_or_news(self, name, fname, strict_versioning=False,
changelogs_uri=None):
" helper that fetches the file in question "
...
# https uris are not supported when they contain a username/password
# because the urllib2 https implementation will not check certificates
# and so its possible to do a man-in-the-middle attack to steal the
# credentials
res = urlsplit(uri)
if res.scheme == "https" and res.username != "":
raise HttpsChangelogsUnsupportedError(
"https locations with username/password are not"
"supported to fetch changelogs")
```
