Comment 5 for bug 293054

A fix is available in the associated branch.

As mentioned in the comments, this bug wasn't caught by the test suite because we lack an https test server.

An https test server needs a certificate, and we want to be able to generate certificates for test purposes, etc.

This is still a work in progress that I can't submit for inclusion in core without enough tests.

And as this bug demonstrated even a single test can't be written without an https server.

Anyway, lp:~vila/bzr/https-test-server from which the fix has been sitting for months (sorry :-/) has enough support to run all the tests usually using an http server against an https server.

So the available fix has been tested again after I merged from bzr.dev.
