I'm sorry to bail on this after grabbing it @d-gollub. I spent some time
on this, but got stuck on updating tests. I reached out in a couple
related tickets but got no replies. I'd hand this back but I don't have
permission to do so.

Some server-side 'SSL' communication fails to check certificates (use

Bug description:
Grant Murphy from Red Hat reported usage of httplib.HTTPSConnection
objects. In Python 2.x those do not perform CA checks so client
connections are vulnerable to MiM attacks.
"""
The following files use httplib.HTTPSConnection :
keystone/middleware/s3_token.py
keystone/middleware/ec2_token.py
keystone/common/bufferedhttp.py
vendor/python-keystoneclient-master/keystoneclient/middleware/auth_token.py
AFAICT HTTPSConnection does not validate server certificates and
should be avoided. This is fixed in Python 3, however in 2.X no
validation occurs. I suspect this is also applicable to most OpenStack
modules that make HTTPS client calls.
