problem in httpie/coreapi ssl library?

See original GitHub issue

By some testing with httpie I have discovered that httpie and coreapi fail to accept an ssl certificate if it does not come first in the ‘pem’ file:

$ http -a root:password123 GET https://www.site2.example.com/users/
hostname 'www.site2.example.com' doesn't match either of 'site1.example.com', 'www.site1.example.com'

The browsers and curl work OK as expected.

I am experiencing a very similar problem with newer versions of http (0.8.0) and python (3.4.3)

Below is the output of http, wget and curl on the same url (cairon.net), as well as the output of http --version and python --version. Feel free to try it with any other http versions.

I will shortly reopen it, but just remove it as you please because I do not use these utilities actively. Because coreapi reacts with the same error and curl works correctly, we can of course conclude that the problem is in some python ssl library…
