does this mean stunnel encrypts requests differently than browsers? or the connection between browser and proxy is different than stunnel and proxy?

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,
