1. To be "like the browser" we'd need to use the OS certificate store, which isn't the case on Windows at the moment (managing those certificate bundle files is most definitely *not* "like the browser" - I'd have no idea how to add a self-certificate to the bundle file embedded in pip, for example).
Python 3.4 added the ability to use the OS cert store on Windows, see http://bugs.python.org/issue17134.
Brilliant. I didn't know that.
Will pip when run on Python 3.4 use the OS cert store? I guess the answer is probably "no" (but i'd love to be pleasantly surprised).

The answer is (I believe) no, mostly for consistency’s sake. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
