Added disable_ssl_certificate_validation

[chrigl]

I am using oauth2 with flattr and like to use ssl, but need to disable the certification validation from httplib2.

Can we merge this fix into main?

Would love to see this go in too!

I did this commit patch, I still get:

Is this related or am I doing something wrong ?

"raise SSLHandshakeError(e)httplib2.SSLHandshakeError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:503: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed>>>"

+1 for this

Another option is make httplib2/oauth2 use a more complete set of certificates from the certifi package. Run pip install certifi and then set the client's ca_certs property, before making any requests. For example:

client = oauth.Client(consumer)
client.ca_certs = certifi.where()

Another option is to swap out the dependency to httplib2 for python-requests which doesn't have the same problem. The latter reads system installed certificates so it can validate a much larger set sites. And disabling SSL validation for something sensitive like authorization might have very bad consequences.

I would love to see this in main too!

Will this ever be merged? This is very useful for testing if you have local setup with self-signed cert.

kwargs are now passed onto httplib2. See #136 and commit a1f0bb4 for more.
