Inspired by gwibber bypasses certificate checking when providing the login/password for OAuth, I started looking in other (microblogging) applications whether they do proper SSL certificate checks or not.

Note 1: While I think paid SSL certificates are snake oil, the user should be able to trust the app that it is connecting to a "verified" (= already known) host.

Note 2: Not all listed apps are packaged in Debian, I'm just abusing wiki.d.o as a "generic" wiki-host.
