SSL support should be provided to support HTTPS based clients

Log traces below for https based client,

Looks like your local machine is missing the CA certificate for whichever SSL cert you're trying to use. You might be able to use the certifi package, as noted in this Stackoverflow answer to get the CA cert needed for verification. If not, inspect the SSL cert and see which CA cert you need and fetch that.

@cfournie : I have faced this issue once when I was using requests package. I believe providing an option to pass the cert parameter would work in this case.
