Notes

[jessie] - ruby-http <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
http.rb failed to call the `#post_connection_check` method on SSL connections.
This method implements hostname verification, and without it `http.rb` was
vulnerable to MitM attacks. The problem was corrected by calling
`#post_connection_check`.
Fixed by: https://github.com/httprb/http/commit/24626bfcdeda1084502575c3fbb6091c9e2815e0
