The --insecure flag causes requests to switch to port 80

[Cory Wright]

I'm setting up an internal keystone server that is served through haproxy on port 443 with a (temporary) self signed certificate. To test my installation I need to be able to disable certificate verification during calls to keystone.

    $ echo $OS_AUTH_URL
    https://10.10.11.12:443/v3

When I try to connect I get an error due to failing to verify the certificate:

    $ openstack catalog show object-store
    Discovering versions from the identity service failed when creating the password plugin. Attempting to determine version from URL.
    SSL exception connecting to https://10.10.11.12:443/v3/auth/tokens: ("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",)

The output of `openstack --help` shows that the `--insecure` flag can be used to disable certificate verification:

    $ openstack --help|grep '^ --insecure'
      --insecure Disable server certificate verification

However, when I pass this flag to the `openstack` command it seems that, instead of disabling certificate verification, the `OS_AUTH_URL` setting is modified to change the scheme to http and port to 80:

    $ openstack --insecure catalog show object-store
    Unable to establish connection to http://10.10.11.12/v3/auth/tokens: HTTPConnectionPool(host='10.10.11.12', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /v3/auth/tokens (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f220ff20490>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

Either the documentation for the `--insecure` flag is wrong, or the flag is not implemented as documented.

I cannot reproduce this with the current client version. Please show the output of "openstack --version" and "openstack --debug --insecure catalog show object-store".
