Previously not all cases of failing certificate verfication for local hosts were handled correctly, which could lead to missing data for that host. Instead of handling all cases of invalid certificates we now omit certificate verification for local addresses entirely. Note that this will fail for python versions before 2.7.

This only applies if one of the addresses "127.0.0.1", "[::1]", and "localhost" is queried using https.
