Fix: need better error when download URL is broken/endless redirect

[iotashan]

Github was having issues this morning, and download URLs were endlessly redirecting to themselves. Here's the error I got:

MacBook-Pro:shan$ gittio install dk.napp.drawer

any luck on solving this? I have the same error, can't find a way to solve it...

Which version of gittio are you using?

No problems on my env, which is:

pier $ gittio --version
0.5.0

Clearly the request module should deal with this better. Still getting the error? I also got a report on GitHub's certificates not working: timanrebel/HockeyApp#10
