Some URLS produce gnutls_handshake() failed: Illegal parameter error, but others do not

#I wrote a script that can turn on and off the crashing behavior of gnutls. Hopefully this will help someone debug it. Using curl #from the command line on the same machine fetches the URL's okay, so it seems like a pycurl thing... Many thanks to the devs!

I've tested all of these urls against pycurl 7.19.5-2ubuntu1 which should be uploaded to Utopic as soon as the FFE is approved. None of them have any trouble. If you notice the problem again when the new version is available, please re-open this bug.
