No. Stunnel does not mimic an HTTP proxy. It's rather something like an TCP port forwarder, with the addition of encrypting/decrypting while forwarding. > To be even more explicit, the HTTP client is cabal-install, which is a > program that downloads and compiles code from the Hackage public source > code repository for Haskell. cabal-install is HTTP only, whereas > Hackage supports both HTTP and HTTPS. This will be easy to set up if hackage.haskell.org uses relative URLs (this seems to be the case)¹ and you can tell cabal-install to use 'http://localhost:<stunnel port>' instead of 'http://hackage.haskell.org'.
