Instead of httplib.HTTP, you write httplib.HTTPS. If you need to pass
X.509 secrets to SSL, you should use httplib.HTTPSConnection instead.

There is a bug report that documentation for SSL support is missing
(not only in httplib, but also in the socket module). Unless somebody
writes something really quick, that bug won't be fixed for 2.0.
