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). Paul
