Bruno is correct, the protocol IS https, you don't type shttp into your browser 
get secure http connection.

You don't transfer python objects with JSON, you can transfer data that was 
stored in Python objects via converting them to JSON (e.g. most JSON resembles a 
Python dictionary, but it is a text representation).  PHP couldn't do anything 
with a Python object.

You may want to pick up a copy of "RESTful Web Services", from O'Reilly.  It is 
an excellent starting place for you.
