What do you need to do with HTTPS?  Serve it?  Or access an HTTPS server as 
a client?

If you need to serve HTTPS, you can use Apache with mod_ssl.  You can 
download Apache + mod_ssl for Windows at

http://www.modssl.org/contrib/

I'm using the one called Apache_1.3.20-Mod_SSL_2.8.4-OpenSSL_0.9.6a-WIN32.zip

For client-side usage, check out M2Crypto at 
http://www.post1.com/home/ngps/m2/ .  We're using its XML-RPC functionality 
in a Python client to access an XML-RPC server (written using 
Webware/Apache/mod_ssl) securely.
