Issue491477

The httplib.HTTPSConnection class uses the 
socket.ssl() function, which doesn't exist, in the 
HTTPSConnection.connect() function.

    def connect(self):
        "Connect to a host on a given (SSL) port."

        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, 
socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
        ssl = socket.ssl(sock, self.key_file, 
self.cert_file)
        self.sock = FakeSocket(sock, ssl)

Trying to use HTTPSConnection.request() results in an 
AttributeError:

>>> h = httplib.HTTPSConnection("apply.test.jprs.jp")
>>> h.request("POST", "/transact.cgi", body=body, 
headers=headers)
Traceback (innermost last):

Your observation is correct; Jython have no support SSL. 
I'll change the bugreport into a feature request, maybe 
somebody will pick it up and implement a python compatible 
SSL for jython.
