Title:
  VMWare and HTTP stores do not verify HTTPS Connections as they use
  httplib.HTTPSConnection

Status in OpenStack Glance backend store-drivers library (glance_store):
  In Progress

Bug description:
  VMWare store:
  https://github.com/openstack/glance_store/blob/ea88e503b617a7ac9a0ae7e537d6517e9992a104/glance_store/_drivers/vmware_datastore.py#L501
  (_get_conn_class above uses simply httplib.HTTPSConnection).

  HTTP Store:
  https://github.com/openstack/glance_store/blob/master/glance_store/_drivers/http.py#L179

  This leaves both stores open to man-in-the-middle attacks while
  transferring image data.
