Are you refering to SHTTP or SSL (HTTPS) pages ? We (SOS Corporation) are in the
final stages of testing of a product that does proxy-SSL on behalf of clients
that don't talk SSL natively; if your browsers DO talk SSL (like Netscape
Navigator), you can always use the CERN httpd with the SSL-proxy patch by
Ari Luotonen which allows your browsers to talk SSL with the remote servers
directly. SHTTP is another matter altogether; there are plans to add support
for it to the proxy WWW server, but not in the very near future.
