ASSPS (ASSP V2) already supports SSL to non SSL servers:

How to Handle STARTTLS Requests
  'If set to "drop TLS", any STARTTLS request will be removed from the
protocol stack and no connection will ever go in to any TLS mode!
  If set to "TLS to Proxy" and both peers (client and server) supports
TLS, both connection will be moved in to a transparent Proxy mode. All
data will be encrypted and unreadable to ASSP.
  If set to "do TLS", ASSP will be the "man in the middle". ASSP will
try to move both connections into TLS. All data will be readable to
ASSP - so all checks could be done. If any of the peers does not
support TLS, ASSP will fake this to the other peer. So it could be
possible, that the connection to the client is going in to TLS mode,
even if TLS is not supported by the Server. If a client does not
request TLS (STARTTLS) no connection will go into TLS mode. This
behavior belongs to incoming and outgoing messages.
This option requires the installed perl module <a
href="http://search.cpan.org/search?query=IO::Socket::SSL";
rel="external">IO::Socket::SSL</a>!<br />
  For "do TLS" a server-certificate-file "certs/server-cert.pem" and a
server-key-file "certs/server-key.pem" must exist and must be
valid!<br />
  If you do not have valid certificates, you may generate both files
online with <a
href="http://www.mobilefish.com/services/ssl_certificates/ssl_certificates.php";
rel="external">www.mobilefish.com</a> or you may use OpenSSL to
generate <a
href="http://www.mobilefish.com/developer/openssl/openssl_quickguide_self_certificate.html";
rel="external">Self-signed SSL certificates</a>
If you have installed OpenSSL (must be in PATH) and installed and
enabled IO::Socket::SSL and ASSP is unable to find valid certificates
- ASSP will try to create them at startup!
