[stunnel-users] Proxy one site to HTTPS?

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble setting up a proxy for one site. The client is
MacPorts on OS X 10.5. It makes some requests for files over port 80,
but they apparently need to be made over port 443. Also see
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53423 and
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53347.

My first question is, is it possible to proxy one site to HTTPS? My
second question is, how does one do so if it is possible?

The concrete example from the 53423 bug report is, I need to proxy
requests from http://distfiles.macports.org/... to
https://distfiles.macports.org/... I also need the opposite on the
responses.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
