--------------------------+-----------------
 Under 4.5.x when you set `sslverify` to `false` it'd make a HTTPS
 connection and ignore the validity of the certificate presented.
 Under 4.6/4.6.1 it still ignores the validity, but verifies that the SSL
 matches the domain (ie. `example.com` cert would be rejected for a
 `example.net` request).

 This was fixed upstream in https://github.com/rmccue/Requests/pull/239
