annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 24592:104f6f755c7e

Make our purple_util_fetch_url_request() function able to handle fetching stuff from https urls. This is needed by yahoo's webmessenger style login, if we want to try enable it again. And it will be needed by the new oscar authentication. I wrote this maybe a year ago and we've been using it at Meebo with no problems, but it would be great if one person could look through these changes.
