I think the key is that you have to modify your client software to point
to a different port besides 443. This new port is the one tcpmon will
listen on. Requests on this port will get forwarded to server:443 by
tcpmon.

In your original configuration, you have this:

        client -> server:port (443)

In your new configuration, you can have this:

        client -> tcpmon:port (2080) -> server:port (443)

NOTE that port 2080 is completely arbitrary. You get to decide what port
number it should be. But you have to point your client to that port. 

I do want to make a disclaimer: I have never tried to use tcpmon to
connect to SSL. I did a quick Google, and found this:

This may be a more appropriate tool. I hope others on this list can
comment about tcpmon and SSL data sniffing. I don't see why tcpmon
couldn't be used, but as I mentioned, I've never tried to get this to
work.

Good luck!
