Ok, I stand corrected on "shttp".  I've been a programmer for over 30 years and 
have been using python and web development for about 7 years and I've never seen 
any reference to it until now.  IMHO it wouldn't be a good idea to implement any 
production code utilizing such an obscure protocol when https is available.  You 
asked for "advice" in the Subject of OP, that's my advice.
