Janos,

Making HTTPS from HTTP is a bit more than just encrypting/decrypting.
To make this work, you have to re-write HTTP headers and links in the
HTTP body before encrypting and after decrypting.  As these are part
of the TCP payload, you have to follow, parse and modify the data
streams exchanged between client and server, in addition to
encryption.

HTH,

Ludolf
