Public bug reported:

If your server is set to prevent outgoing HTTPS connections, the
BrowserID plugin will fail to verify any assertion with this error
message:

  Mahara did not receive valid JSON output from the BrowserID verifier.

Ideally, the auth plugin should curl https://browserid.org/verify and
see if it can reach it succesfully before letting admins enable it for a
site.
