Title:
  Gwibber not adding Twitter account

Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gwibber” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Twitter's API now enforces SSL for all requests, which makes the gwibber 
account dialog fail to load the login page when adding an account.

  [Test case]
  Open the accounts dialog and attempt to add a new twitter account.  

  
  [Regression potential]
  Very low, the change is required in order to load the authentication panel 
for adding 
  an account.  Without the fix it doesn't load at all, just displaying a line 
of 
  text stating that SSL is required.  

  
  Ubuntu 12.04.4
  Adding a Twitter account from gwibber does not open the twitter authorization 
page.

  Twitter now only accepts SSL connections.

  After inspecting the code on gwibber-service-twitter files i found the
  problem.

  File /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/twitter/gtk/twitter/__init__.py

  Line 78 and 144 - Needs to be "https" where it states "http"

  File /usr/share/gwibber/plugins/twitter/__init__.py

  Line 401 - Needs to be "https" where it states "http"

  Editing these files with the previous fix makes adding a twitter
  account working again.
