error pulling from private registry

[Larry Brigman]

There was another post/bug earlier in March about this specific problem but it seemed to get closed without getting to the bottom of the issue
as there was a passing test case and the user that reported the problem just wrote around it using command or shell as docker commands were working.

I would like to see about getting to the bottom of the issue.
Here is what I have:
Client
Centos 6.6.
pip upgraded urllib3 (1.10.4)
python-docker-py-0.7.0-1.el6.x86_64
Running both rpm 1.9.1 and
ansible 2.0.0 (devel d0d9be30d5) last updated 2015/06/23 13:06:50 (GMT -700)
  lib/ansible/modules/core: (detached HEAD a1181b490b) last updated 2015/06/23 13:17:20 (GMT -700)
  lib/ansible/modules/extras: (detached HEAD 44eb758dc7) last updated 2015/06/23 13:19:27 (GMT -700)
  v1/ansible/modules/core: (detached HEAD f8d8af17cd) last updated 2015/06/23 13:19:45 (GMT -700)
  v1/ansible/modules/extras: (detached HEAD 495ad450e5) last updated 2015/06/23 13:18:05 (GMT -700)
  configured module search path = None

Registry 0.9.1 proxy via apache with ssl self-signed certs no auth.

With either version of ansible I get the same msg:
msg: Unrecognized status from pull.
The dev version output is a little more verbose.
The base docker command works.

What more do you need help me figure this out?
