https request with checking peer

[Steve Davis]

Hi Max,

It seems that ssl:start() isn't synonymous with
application:start(ssl).

You can use ssl:start() or, doing it manually, the public_key
application needs to be started up as well as crypto.

application:start(crypto).
application:start(public_key).
application:start(ssl).
