[Python-apps-team] Bug#813313: [planet-venus] fails on SNI enabled websites

Well, "easy"... There's only a few calls to httplib itself, but it makes
heavy use of the API it turns out. It uses the resp object extensively,
and even uses the cache. So it will need to be cleaned up and use
cachecontrol:

... which is not in stable...

Hopefully, httplib2 will just fix this?
