Ok, thanks! The only change I would make is that cadefault needs to be
False by default; particularly because some platforms don't have a
OpenSSL-compatible default CA store (Windows comes to mind) and all
HTTPS requests would then start failing.

You don't have to upload a new patch; I can change it when committing.
