Yes.  The patch adds additional debug info.

Now we're getting to the good stuff as you can see that you are getting 
a connection refused.  Questions for you:

1) Are you *certain* that 'https://localhost:443/api' is accessible from 
the local system, that it is the address of your oVirt engine, and is 
not being blocked by a FW?  Easy test on the local box point your 
browser at that url.

2) Are you certain that the CA is valid?  To verify this you will need 
to issue a 'curl' statement and supply the CA.  Example:
  curl -v -k -u $USER:$PASS --cacert /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem  -X 
GET -H 'Accept: application/xml'  'https://localhost:443/api/api/vms
