Proper https client requires the built-in ssl from Python 2.6.

  $ "$TESTDIR/hghave" ssl || exit 80

Certificates created with:

 printf '.\n.\n.\n.\n.\nlocalhost\nhg@localhost\n' | \

 openssl req -newkey rsa:512 -keyout priv.pem -nodes -x509 -days 9000 -out pub.pem

Can be dumped with:

 openssl x509 -in pub.pem -text
