HTTPSHandler ??? (where is it)

[RCS]

In the documentation of the ActiveState distribution for Python 2.1 there is
listed as one of the objects of urllib2 the HTTPSHandler (for https
requests).

On the Python prompt (>>>), the list for dir(urllib2) gives me a reference
to the HTTPHandler (among various other objects), but the HTTPSHandler there
is not.

Does anyone know something about this?
