fix SSL problem

[gcd0318]

fix issue 173. originated by kvvier(https://code.google.com/u/kvvier/) and verified for python3.3 (win) by (https://code.google.com/u/111191101025126589579/), and me for python3.4 (linux)

As the modification of !disable_ssl_certificate_validation, I got following error when I try to install:
byte-compiling build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/httplib2/init.py to init.cpython-34.pyc
File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/httplib2/init.py", line 829
check_hostname=!disable_ssl_certificate_validation)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So I suggest the change kvvier

I get this error on Python3.3:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lsftest.py", line 13, in <module>
    header, contents = h.request(url)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\httplib2\__init__.py", line 1174, in request
    self.disable_ssl_certificate_validation)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\httplib2\__init__.py", line 829, in __init__
    check_hostname=True)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\http\client.py", line 1183, in __init__
    raise ValueError("check_hostname needs a SSL context with "
ValueError: check_hostname needs a SSL context with either CERT_OPTIONAL or CERT_REQUIRED

(stripped) code:

h = httplib2.Http(".cache", disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True)
header, contents = h.request("https://...")

So suppose line 229 has to be:

check_hostname=ssl.CERT_OPTIONAL if disable_ssl_certificate_validation else ssl.CERT_REQUIRED)

Is there any chance that we get a fix for that issue merged?
