[pca] SunSolve: 403 Forbidden with valid Contract

[French, David]

You may also want to try adding --ssprot=http if using the latest
versions of pca.  I discovered for my setup that using https will fail
downloading a lot of patches, but as soon as I use --ssprot=http
everything is much more reliable.  In fact once last weekend everything
was failing using https, but worked perfectly when switched to http.
And yes, https had worked before.

Anyway, just a thought...
