Tahoe currently uses httplib for CLI commands.
If node.url points to a https resource we will happily perform a https request.
The issue is that httplib does not verify server certificates. Using a remote node.url with https wouldn't be as secure as people would expect (cf. man-in-the-middle, ssltrip, etc.).
