Nice :)
Apache 2 protocol modules should allow you to do this without having to
patch the server (using filters), as in Apache 2 HTTP is just another
protocol module that can be inserted or removed.
In Apache 2 mod_ssl itself is implemented as a filter

For some years, we have been in my company running a secure non-http file transfer
system. Nowadays, with more and more system administrators allowing secure incoming
connections only trough 443 port , that system doesn´t work, because it does not
speak HTTP and 443 port is usually already used by web servers, so we cant use it
for our systems.
So there is no solution, if system admin does not open another port, except to use
443 port.
Now we have made a mod_ssl patch to allow non-HTTP secure incoming connections to be
deciphered and forwarded to a selected server, configured in conf file, while also
serving HTTP in the usual way. I´m not sure if this can be done in any other way
with Apache modules, but it works and its all i need.
The patch is in
http://spipe.sourceforge.net
If you see documentation, you will see there are some other interesting (I think)
use cases to create secure pipes from one web server to another.
Hope it will be of help to someone in the same situation. If not, just consider it a
more or less summer academic experiment.
Thank you
