https on ActiveState Python 2.4?

[Jack]

Thanks Dennis and Fredrik. This actualy works! I just copyed _socket.pyd and 
_ssl.pyd
from regular Python 2.4.3 into the DLLs directory of the ActiveState Python 
installation.
urllib2.urlopen() starts working for https links :)

I copied ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll earlier.
