SSL certificate error

[Kervius]

On Ubuntu 14.04, the example from the README.md fails with the SSL certificate error:

  File "./test1.py", line 6, in <module>
    for t in Search("Game of thrones"):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/KickassAPI.py", line 360, in __init__
    self.url = SearchUrl(query, page, category, order)

    self.build()

    self.max_page = self._get_max_page(ret)

The probleme comes from the fact that the site kickass only use HTTPS now.

A first correction is to add : verify=False

Maybe you can use this https://github.com/certifi/python-certifi

You can also run: pip install ndg-httpsclient pyOpenSSL to fix the issue.

@Pyro699 After A LOT of fiddling, I finally make it work on my raspberry pi. To get your packages working I had to install
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
and I do believe this was necessay, but at first it didn't worked
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev

Hope it helps anyone who might be having the same problem. This should be updated on README.md as a requirement on the installation step.
