My use-case is an invalid SSL certificate. Pulling from the wiki with a
recent version of libwww-perl fails, and git-remote-mediawiki gave no
clue about the reason. Give the mediawiki API detailed error message, and
since it is not so informative, hint the user about an invalid SSL
certificate on https:// urls.
