The problem back then seems to be that his setup required http
authentication. mwlib still can't do that.

we can now only guess what's not clear to you.

https itself should not be a problem. I've just tested it with a
self-signed certificate and stunnel (in my setup I had to set $wgServer
to the https url). mw-zip does not even complain about the certificate
(it probably should as every browser does, but that's another
issue). One thing comes to mind: You need to install pyopenssl to make
mw-zip work with https.

no.

You had a working setup. If you only switched to https, you should be
done by installing pyopenssl (and probably setting wgServer, but I
consider that part of switching to https).
 
Please try running mw-render on the command line in order to test your
setup.

And please stop using top-posting, it really makes things hard to
follow.
