Why so?

I would of course not suggest running a real life web server against a smart 
card or USB token, but theoretically it can be done. 

If somebody writes a tutorial on how to use engine_pkcs11 with mod_ssl and 
OpenSC PKCS#11 (or anything else using OpenSC PKCS#11), I would read it with 
great interest.

I can understand somebody wishing to establish end2end hardware backed SSL 
tunnels, either over SSL (HTTP? STunnel?) or over SSH (why can't I easily run 
my home SSH server against a USB dongle?)
I would not suggest HTTP for it, but PKCS#11 support in stunnel would be 
admirable.
