It's easy enough to use Apache w/ SSL + Mod_Python to implement the 
XML-RPC server. I don't know if Python has a way to access an SSL 
wrapped XML-RPC server? Don't imagine it'd be to hard to implement 
though. I just haven't had a reason to need to since thus far all my 
XML-RPC apps don't need to be secure or are inside a secure network.

Might be worth the effort of implementing?
