Throw me in a forth on this one. I use nginx 0.8.34 for gzip
compression, RAM caching of static content and SSL offload. All very
simple to configure and low overheads. All requests HTTP and HTTPs go
to Nginx and are then forwarded to HAproxy 1.4.2 as HTTP.

I can third this - nginx + haproxy works extremely well. I wish
haproxy supported SSL directly. I realize it's not within the design
goals of haproxy, but the need for this is out there. Good thing
nginx + haproxy works well enough.

nginx operates very nicely as an SSL offloading device.
I am right now using nginx 0.8.33 (soon to bump up to 0.8.34) and
HAProxy 1.4.2 in production and things work very well for me.

Maybe it's worth a try for you to get along with nginx as stunnel
replacement ?
Its performance is quit good and the config can be held very short,
too for only accepting ssl traffic
and directing it to haproxy.
