ceilometerclient insecure argument no longer works

with ceilometerclient 1.0.13 the os_insecure argument is no longer handled properly for ceilometerclient.client.get_client(), as seen below:

>>> from ceilometerclient import client as ceilo_client
>>> args = {'os_service_type': 'metering', 'os_insecure': 'True', 'os_auth_url': 'https://127.0.0.1:5000', 'os_project_domain_name': 'Default', 'os_tenant_name': 'myproject', 'os_user_domain_name': 'Default', 'os_username': 'myuser', 'os_password': 'mypassw0rd'}
>>> c = ceilo_client.get_client('2', **args)
>>> c.meters.list()
