James, are you sure the ssl patch ever actually worked?  I'm seeing
lots of things that just seem wrong to me.  Here are a few examples:

   keepalive.py:  calls to _get_https_connection
   sslfactory.py: only _create_https_connection is defined

   sslfactory.py: httpslib is imported but only httplib is ever used

   at no point does the HTTPSHandler defined in m2urllib2.py ever get
   used

I was looking through this SSL/M2Crypto stuff hoping to fix it and
clean it up a bit and I'm just baffled.

I think a little work will be needed to make keepalive and m2crypto
play nicely together because we both had to modify the HTTPSHandler.
Mine won't do M2Crypto's magic, and theirs won't do keepalive.
Coincidentally (or perhaps not) I haven't been able to find an SSL
site that enables keepalive.
