title: How to force requests use the certificates on my ubuntu system
body: <p>I'm using a self-signed cert for debug purpose.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cp hbrls-server.cert /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
  $ update-ca-certificates
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After that, I can see <code>hbrls-server.pem</code> in <code>/etc/ssl/certs/</code>. But <code>requests</code> still raises the SSLError.</p>
  
  <p>If I specify the cert like this: <code>requests.get('https://blabla', verify='/etc/ssl/certs/hbrls-server.pem')</code>, it will be OK.</p>
  
  <p>And <code>python -m requests.certs</code> returns <code>/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/certifi/cacert.pem</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make <code>requests</code> to use the certs on the system. I'm working on dockerize sth, and would not like to see that <code>verify=path-to-cert</code> in my code.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> ubuntu 12.04, python 2.7.3, requests 2.7.0</p>
