Sure, I'd look into lp:~vila/bzr/https-test-server on how to
extract such a simplification (but the certificate needs to be
approved by an authority which itself needs a certificate :0)

I can go with a self-certified certificate too but that needs
more modifications on the client side :)

But since I found some other problems with osx/python-2.6 I'll
fix that first and try to submit a reduced patch for inclusion in
1.9 first (without automated tests).

Then I'd look harder at what can be merged for 1.10 (with tests).
