I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, but you have you
considered using SSLWrap for this purpose? It'll take an inbound SSL
connection and route it to some other port on your local network that can
be a non-ssl destination.

You could tunnel SSL in this configuration, but I think you're going to
have problems during the key exchange.

You are supposed to be a consumer, a black hole for goods, advertising and
content. They only want to allocate enough upstream bandwidth for
10,000,000 buy buttons. Producing or sharing information is a subversive
act and will not be tolerated. -anonymous coward on /.
