Here are patches to change network use of www.python.org to www.example.com so that the tests should pass even if the interpreter is built without SSL support.  It turns out that there are references to www.python.org in unexpected places (like test_site) so, while I ran all tests and tested the changes both with and without SSL availability, it wouldn't surprise me if I missed a few spots. Also, as requested by Benjamin, I produced patches for and tested on 3.1 and 3.2.  I'm +0 on applying the changes there as there are other, unrelated test failures with those releases on some platforms, but with the patches no one can blame the new python.org website for them.
