Comment 20 for bug 1157943

Sorry for the slow reply. I wasn't quite sure if precise is needed or not. Attached is a debdiff with the backport of the http/https refactor that David did. The diff is a bit scary because it contains a lot of churn/shuffle of the http/https code.

Note that the debdiff needs a bit of cleanup before it can be uploaded, i.e. the autoconf changes and the po file changes are stuff that the apt build system is automatically updating and I was doing it on a trusty box instead of in a precise environment.

Plus additional testing with various scenarios (I did only light testing so far).
