why a tunnel? Who would create the tunnel? While It's possible, I don't know
of any browser that could do that.

You can configure apache so that it would behave as proxy, https on
receiving side with client certificate verification and proxying to another
tunnels. Client would think that your apachs is the server.

You also could configure apache as proxy accessible through https (but
clients afaik don't support https proxy) and configure clients to use this
apache as proxy. But they would not issue CONNECT to port 80.
