If you wish to terminate the https on the "new" machine and communicate to
the old computer using http, then mod_proxy is what works for us. We use it
extensively.

or you could run stunnel (on that old machine, and close every other port
except the one stunnel uses, or use
port-forwarding on the "remote-pc" that uses stunnel to communicate with
ssl-based software...). 

"Stunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections 
inside SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) available on both Unix and Windows. 
Stunnel can allow you to secure non-SSL aware daemons and protocols 
(like POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by having Stunnel provide the encryption, 
requiring no changes to the daemon's code." -- www.stunnel.org
