Come on... his is the 4th mail I send in the last couple hours mentioning that this
capability exists already in Apache 1.3 and, improved and more robust, in
Apache 2.0 They are just not documented, see my other emails for links and
example.  I am preparing a patch to the Apache documentation that includes
them. As other people mentioned, you can also use stunnel or similar
programs to set SSL tunneling (I have used it successfully in the past with
HTTP and POP3)
