** Description changed:

+ [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.
