This functionality is required for PCI-DSS compliance in any scenario where pound and the backend do NOT reside on the same server (i.e. the traffic is not allowed to hit the wire unencrypted).

Hello,

now I'm answering myself.

Hello,

here is the conversation with Robert I had so far about using
pound as an HTTPS / HTTPS proxy. He asked me for the reason(s) wanting
this MITM approach.

...
and probably Apaches mod_proxy could be used. Both solutions are not
checked yet, since I like the lean approach of Pound, compared with
these two "fat" applications.

(The current setup we're testing uses an stunnel connection to the
backend...)

Just for the records:

   client -- { internet } --- [ pound | stunnel ] ------- [ backend ]
https://<domain>/path https://<domain>/ path


works for me. But I'd like to see the stunnel integrated in pound (for
admin purposes).
