OGC API bug ignores SSL verify flag of Authentication object

[berntholer]

Our corporate firewall inserts its own self signed certificate in the SSL chain. For quick development I usually test things using the verify=False option in request calls.

When I tested some WMS functionality of OWSlib I first created a simple Authentication object like so:

myauth=Authentication(verify=false)

Passing myauth to WebMapService(..., auth=myauth) worked as expected. But when I tried to do the same for OGC API Features(..., auth=myauth) calls I got SSL self signed certificate errors.

Upon inspecting the code I saw that the auth.verify value is never used in the http_prepare() function, unlike in the openURL() function used for i.e. WMS.

I created a PR to fix this 37cfb31

PS I assume another potential problem lies with the pop() statements like this followed by a get() later on here which will always be empty since the value was popped out of the dictionary?
