There are always the possibility to use internet explorers
https-functionality through win32com, check the article 're: 2000: A
Win32 oddisey' by Michal Wallace.

I have managed to get together the socketlib.pyd for ssl, what I did
was compiled OpenSSL for windows, compiled the socketlib with the
flage USE_SSL, where it barfs on some error like 'Non-constant used'
move the &PyObjectType assignment into the init-function, as done in
some other modules that does dynamic loading on win32.

Get in touch if you want more info.

| Instead of httplib.HTTP, you write httplib.HTTPS. If you need to pass
