I get that issue when I try doing an https:// request for a server that doesn't 
actually support HTTPS. The server is closing the connection and that's what 
this error amounts to.

Are you sure your localhost server on port 8001 supports HTTPS?

I have started HTTPS server on port 8001 myself. Additionally I have prepared 
the testing client using httplib module which is working fine:

import httplib
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection('localhost:8001')

conn.request('GET', '/')
res = conn.getresponse()
print res.read()

So for me, it looks that there is a problem in httplib2 :/
