Description: 
        This is a HTTPS client implementation for httplib and urllib2 based on 
        PyOpenSSL.  PyOpenSSL provides a more fully featured SSL implementation over the
        default provided with Python and importantly enables full verification of the
        SSL peer. 
        
        Prerequisites
        =============
        This has been developed and tested for Python 2.6 and 2.7 with pyOpenSSL 0.13.  
        Note that proxy support is only available from Python 2.6.2 onwards.  pyasn1 is 
        required for correct SSL verification with subjectAltNames.
        
        Installation
        ============
        Installation can be performed using easy_install or pip.  
        
        Running ndg_httpclient
        ======================
        A simple script for fetching data using HTTP or HTTPS GET from a specified URL.
         
        Parameter::
            url                   The URL of the resource to be fetched
        
        Options::
            -h, --help            Show help message and exit.
            -c FILE, --certificate=FILE
                                  Certificate file - defaults to $HOME/credentials.pem
            -k FILE, --private-key=FILE
                                  Private key file - defaults to the certificate file
            -t DIR, --ca-certificate-dir=DIR
                                  Trusted CA certificate file directory.
            -d, --debug           Print debug information - this may be useful in 
                                  solving problems with HTTP or HTTPS access to a 
                                  server.
            -f FILE, --fetch=FILE Output file
            -n, --no-verify-peer  Skip verification of peer certificate.
