CreateUser is not working because it is submitted to http url instead of https

Following code should work: 

client = gdata.apps.client.AppsClient(domain=DOMAIN)
client.ClientLogin(email=ADMIN_USERNAME, password=ADMIN_PASSWORD, source='apps')
client.CreateUser(args.username, args.name, args.surname, args.password)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This is copied from google.developers and it should work. I see error

What version of the product are you using?
gdata-2.0.17.zip
gdata.client.RequestError: Server responded with: 403, <HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Insecure HTTP requests not permitted.  Use HTTPS.</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<H1>Insecure HTTP requests not permitted.  Use HTTPS.</H1>
<H2>Error 403</H2>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Please provide any additional information below.

As a workaround you might use: 

client.ssl=True
