I guess you are out of luck, now. https requires the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL), which is only supported with Python 2.0. Even then, the
socket module integrates with OpenSSL, wich does not readily port to
W9x.

So unless somebody knows of an alternative approach for accessing
https servers with Python 1.5.2, I'd recommend you try unsecure
connections only for the moment...
