title: AWS Command Line Tools need recoding for secure login?
body: <p>The AWS command line tools appear to be broken on both Linux (Ubuntu PP) and Windows (7).  In both cases, after setting up the login credentials correctly and trying to run the most basic tool (<code>getBalance.sh</code>), I get a failure to authenticate.</p>
  
  <pre><code>An error occurred while fetching your balance: This request must be made over a secure channel. You must use 'https' rather than 'http'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seems simple enough, but there's nothing in the manual nor in the installed directory which would suggest that this is an option supported by the command line tools.</p>
  
  <p>Has someone already modified the shell scripts to use a secured connection?  If not, any clues as to where I should begin the modifications?</p>
