Title:
  BrowserID plugin should check for firewall issues before getting
  enabled

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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://verifier.login.persona.org/verify and see if it can reach it
  succesfully before letting admins enable it for a site.
