Set certificate

[theengineear]

There have been issues with the ssl certificate settings. Though this should be a last resort, these changes allow users to (a) set verify = False or (b) specifically define the certificate they are expecting.

Open issues:

• do we need to do this for streaming?? the plotly.plotly.Stream object has no place for a 'verify', is that a different topic? i can't reproduce this error to check because my streaming cluster is down.

You config files can now include one of these ssl options:

'plotly_ssl_verification': true
'plotly_ssl_verification': false
'plotly_ssl_verification': '/absolute/path/to/file.crt'

@scjody , this seem alright? i thought it would be easiest for admins to stick an absolute path there? i also don't know why it would be so bad to leave this option as false since we're just talking to ourselves when we use this option...

Looks good to me, but let's ask @bpostlethwaite about streaming.

I don't understand your comment about leaving the option as false. It should default to true (and it looks like that's what you did), so that we're secure by default (especially when talking to plot.ly).

Streaming runs over http
