Adds new test to self-test for get_url over HTTPS

[hollie]

Adds extra test that does a POST request over HTTPS to the MisterHouse selftests.

Fails on Perl 5.08. Do we still need to support that?

[hollie]

Going to close and re-open this PR to see if the fail was due to an external reason or not.

This is the only outstanding pull request. I have a perl 5.8.8 machine, and the test seems to work OK for me:

./get_url -post 'testparameter=1' https://httpbin.org/post /tmp/get_url_post_https.txt

Retrieving (with ua) https://httpbin.org/post into /tmp/get_url_post_https.txt ... url retrieved.

cat /tmp/get_url_post_https.txt

So, is this pull request getting backed out, or fixed and merged?

I suggest to drop it.
