Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but if your client application does not
support TLS, then it won't speak HTTPS, it would speak plain HTTP.
That's what the configuration you're using does - it tells stunnel to
run in client mode, i.e. something will connect to stunnel using
an unencrypted connection and stunnel will connect to a TLS server
(in this case an HTTPS server).

So what happens when you try almost the same query, but with the "http"
scheme instead of the "https" one?

  curl -v http://127.0.0.1:19201

G'luck,
Peter
