I can't see how that would be something the application would know. For example, pip allows me to specify an "alternate cert bundle" but not a single additional cert. So IIUC, I can't use my local index that serves https using a self-signed cert. I'd find it hard to argue that it's pip's responsibility to think of that use case - pretty much any program that interacts with a web service *might* need to interact with a self-signed dummy version, if only under test conditions.
Well, it's certainly pip's responsibility more than Python's. What would Python do? Provide a setting that would blindly add a cert for all uses of httplib? pip knows about the use cases here, Python doesn't. (perhaps you want to serve your local index using http, though) Regards Antoine.
