Can't connect to HTTPS using sm_tool.py

haivu

First, I would like to thank John C. Ruttenberg, AKA rutt for a fantastic tool :thumb. I am new to both Python and Smugmug API and have some rusty coding experience which I am now sharpening up. When I run sm_tool.py version 1.10 under my Windows XP laptop, I get the following error:

C:\bin\python>sm_tool create "funny pictures" --category="Other"
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the problem is in line 174:

self.sp = ServerProxy("[URL="https://upload.smugmug.com/xmlrpc/"]https://upload.smugmug.com/xmlrpc/[/URL]")

If I change the URI to "http://api.smugmug.com/hack/xmlrpc/" then the script seems to work. What do I have to do to make this work? Thank you for your help.

Additional information:

• Python version: 2.4.3
• OS: Windows XP with HOME environment variable set
• Valid format .smugmugrc file
• sm_tool.py version 1.10
