Comment 17 for bug 1314234

according to the boto release notes for 2.6.0 (http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/releasenotes/v2.6.0.html), boto now defaults to certificate verification ON instead of opt-in.

i think that's pretty much it, given that boto is now at version 2.45 or so.

if that is considered not certain enough, then i think all that's necessary would be to
adjust duplicity/backends/_boto_single.py where storage_uri.connect() is called and change those
calls so that the validate_certs option is explicitely given.
