I love Requests, but it would be really nice to have some Python libraries with cert-verified SSL support. I've hacked SSL support on top of urllib2 for my projects at work (https://github.com/josephturnerjr/urllib2.VerifiedHTTPS), but it'd be really nice if libraries started prioritizing secure communications as a first-order requirement.

This will be in requests very soon. :)

Then I will be porting my projects over to Requests very soon :)

It's pretty easy to implement, as it already works at the lower (socket) level with the ssl module, it just hasn't made it up the stack into urllib2 (or Requests..yet!).
