Parse error when using example Python code for REST API “Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream”

I can't figure out what is going on. I am using example python code found here to do a basic query on a Parse class. This code works just fine when I run it in my Python console. But there seems to be a problem with SSL. Any Ideas? I am using the following code:

import json,httplib connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection('api.parse.com', 443) 

connection.connect() 
connection.request('GET', '/1/classes/MY-CLASS', '', {    
"X-Parse-Application-Id": "MY-APP-ID",    
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key": "MY-REST-API-KEY"  }) 
result = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read()) 
print result

I Get the Following Messages:

Runtime error (IOException): Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream. 

Traceback: 
line 280, in do_handshake, "C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5.0 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\IronPython\Lib\ssl.py" 

line 120, in __init__, "C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5.0 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\IronPython\Lib\ssl.py"

line 1156, in connect, "C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5.0 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\IronPython\Lib\httplib.py" 
line 3, in script 


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! -Zach
