XML-RPC over HTTPS is already done for you:

$ python xmlrpc_cli.py 
send: 'POST / HTTP/1.0\015\012'
send: 'Host: nova\015\012'
send: 'User-Agent: xmlrpc_ssl.py/0.05p2 - xmlrpclib.py/0.9.8 (by
www.pythonware.com)\015\012'
send: 'Content-Type: text/xml\015\012'
send: 'Content-Length: 106\015\012'
send: '\015\012'
send: "<?xml
version='1.0'?>\012<methodCall>\012<methodName>propertyMap</methodName>\012<params>\012</params>\012\012</methodCall>\012"
reply: 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\015\012'
header: Server: Zope/Zope 2.3.0 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2)
ZServerSSL/0.06

header: Connection: close

Here's the (abridged) code:

    from M2Crypto import Rand
    from M2Crypto.xmlrpclib2 import Server, SSL_Transport
    
    Rand.load_file('../randpool.dat', -1)
    
    # Server is Zope-2.3.0 on ZServerSSL.
    zs=Server('https://nova:8443/', SSL_Transport())
    print zs.propertyMap()
    
    Rand.save_file('../randpool.dat')


Here's the plumbing:
