Description:
When trying to fetch the NDB/Connector source from launchpad.net using wget a SSL
certificate error is reported. Only when using the "wget --no-check-certificate" option
the download succeeds. Other HTTPS clients may run into problems with this, too, and may
not provide a workaround option.

How to repeat:
$ wget https://launchpad.net/ndb-connectors/telco-6.3/0.5.6.3.7.4/+download/ndb
-connectors-0.5.6.3.7.4.tar.gz
--16:14:40--  https://launchpad.net/ndb-connectors/telco-6.3/0.5.6.3.7.4/+download/ndb-c
onnectors-0.5.6.3.7.4.tar.gz
           => `ndb-connectors-0.5.6.3.7.4.tar.gz'

ERROR: Certificate verification error for launchpad.net: unable to get local issuer cert
ificate
To connect to launchpad.net insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
Unable to establish SSL connection.

Workaround: use "--no-check-certificate" option as suggested in the error message above

Suggested fix:
Either fix the certificate issue, allow non-SSL downloads or just move over to the
dev.mysql.com download area

I've filed a bug with Launchpad about the certificate issues:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/184090

I'd be fine with putting a download on either dev.mysql.com or on the ftp.mysql.com with
the telco drops - but it would be great if I had access to upload new releases to those
places.
