Issue2322

This problem was reported to me in the Red Hat bugzilla here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159201

These problems were fixed in CPython 2.7 in the following commits:

ftplib:  https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/44ac81e6d584
imaplib: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/dd906f4ab923
nntplib: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/36680a7c0e22
poplib:  https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/339f877cca11
smtplib: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/923aac88a3cc
httplib: https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/5e310c6a8520

Please consider back-porting them to Jython 2.7.

These should be changed in Jython as well

Partial fix in https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/415c4a58078e, however, we will have to patch httplib to not use 2.7.9's support for SSLContext until we do that work.

I believe it's just a change here in the code:
https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/415c4a58078e#l2.139
to
https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/415c4a58078e#l2.176
(so __init__, connect, __init__ methods)

and can be done by just using the old implementation of these methods in the patched version in Lib/httplib.py

Fixed the httplib problem in https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/2e19fbf8ac38 by reverting to an earlier version of the module that does not support custom SSL contexts.
