Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

As the documentation says "If context is specified and has a verify_mode of 
either CERT_OPTIONAL or CERT_REQUIRED, then by default host is matched against 
the host name(s) allowed by the server’s certificate. If you want to change 
that behaviour, you can explicitly set check_hostname to False."

It is rather weird that HTTPSConnection has its own "check_hostname" parameter 
independent of the one on the SSL context.

Alex, what do you think of this patch?
