使用带有https的python软件包请求下载文件时出错

我是Python的入门者，一直在努力使用打包请求下载文件。我的代码适用于带有http的网址，但不适用于https。代码如下：

import requests
url = 'https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/active_fire/shapes/zips/Central_America_24h.zip'

print "downloading with requests"
r = requests.get(url)
with open("Central_America_24h.zip", "wb") as code:
    code.write(r.content) 

我收到以下错误：

Warning (from warnings module):
  File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\lib\site-packages\requests\packages\urllib3\util\ssl_.py", line 90
    InsecurePlatformWarning
InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.
