title: Python requests.get raises ConnectionError for HTTPS url
body: <p>im trying this simple python 2.7 code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  
  response = requests.get(url="https://sslbl.abuse.ch", verify=False)
  print response
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using <code>verify=False</code> in order to ignore verifying the SSL certificate.
  I'm getting the following exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='sslbl.abuse.ch', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by &lt;class 'socket.error'&gt;: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I try another https url (like twitter.com) everything is ok.
  What can be the problem? How can I get the response like a browser does?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:
  after upgrading requests version i get the same <code>ConnectionError</code> but some warnings were added:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\packages\urllib3\util\ssl_.py:315: SNIMissingWarning: An HTTPS request has been made, but the SNI (Subject Name Indication) extension to TLS is not available on this platform.
