I believe that what you want to accomplish can be done with squid. I was originally going to suggest stunnel, but that would work to wrap local inetd-based services with SSL/TLS and your description says you want the reverse. I think that the proxy approach is the only way to do that. The only thing about which I am not certain is whether the local user would be able to enter a plan HTTP URL and then squid can transparently proxy to HTTPS. Certainly for HTTPS end-to-end you cannot proxy transparently. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
