With the recent Drupal vulnerability We decided to find all our Drupal instance.  Shodan told us about externally visible

'http-drupal-enum’ appears not to know about HTTPS and most of our sites use HTTPS (as a matter fo policy).   I say 
appears since we told nmap to scan both port 80 and 443 but the scan found only those instances that were listening on port 
80.

FWIW, I have briefly scanned through the script, not noticing anything that would make it hard-wired for plain HTTP. In other words, the script should work for HTTPS as-is and the reason why it is not might be elsewhere, perhaps due to some TLS idiosyncrasy.

You might try another simple HTTP script, like http-title or http-headers, against your HTTPS instances and see how it goes. Using option "-d" should give you an idea what is failing.
