Bruno is correct, the protocol IS https, you don't type shttp into your browser
get secure http connection.

https[1] and shttp[2] are two entirely different protocols.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_hypertext_transfer_protocol

Ok, I stand corrected on "shttp". I've been a programmer for over 30 years and have been using python and web development for about 7 years and I've never seen any reference to it until now. IMHO it wouldn't be a good idea to implement any production code utilizing such an obscure protocol when https is available. You asked for "advice" in the Subject of OP, that's my advice.
