[Bug 1299075] [NEW] SSL SNI support broken in python2

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

requests.exceptions.SSLError: hostname 'foo' doesn't match either of
'example.com'

In order to support `SNI`_ in python 2.6/2.7 you need to install additional packages:
 * `pyOpenSSL`, a Python wrapper module around the OpenSSL library.
 * `pyasn1`, ASN.1 types and codecs.
 * `ndg-httpsclient`, enhanced HTTPS support for httplib and urllib2.

The first two are available (python-openssl and python-pyasn1), while
the last is missing.

Installing it with "pip install ndg-httpsclient". requests is able to
make SSL requests to servers with SNI.

It would be great if ndg-httpsclient would be packaged and python-
requests installed it by default.
