Like about 40 other people, I have now run into the limitation that SSL
sockets in RB can't listen securely.  :)

However, a reasonable workaround is to use an SSL proxy -- in fact for
a large network application, I think it's fairly common to have a proxy
handling the SSL, which is rather number-crunchy, while another machine
acts as the actual server (which tends to be more file-intensive).

I know there are hardware proxies/routers which will handle the SSL for
me at high throughput, but these cost a couple grand, and I'm not quite
ready for that yet.  So a software SSL proxy seems appropriate.  A
search for "SSL proxy" at SourceForge turns up 986 matches, with
several promising ones just on the first page.

So: Has anyone used any of these SSL proxies on OS X?  Any
recommendations?

Also, are there any gotchas to watch out for in using them with an RB
server?  (I wouldn't expect so, but it never hurts to ask...)

Thanks,
- Joe
