Any clue? Still happening on my splunk server

On the 1.3 PDF App, it has the latest version of httplib2-0.4.0-4.el5, which added a new argument called "disable_ssl_certificate_validation". Unfortunately, it defaults to false and requires that you set up a list of trusted cert providers to by pass this error.

Go to this url http://httplib2.googlecode.com/hg/python2/httplib2/cacerts.txt save the contents to a txt format and place it copy under /opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/cacerts.txt. This list of cacerts will let you bypass the error message.
