I did not read the whole thread but I could make some tests of such an 
environment if needed. It would be great to support this correctly:

browser <-- https --> ssl-proxy <-- http --> webserver

As this is seldomly supported by applications (as they do not "see" the 
https and as such don't want to create such links blindly), I did this:

browser <-- https --> ssl-proxy <-- https --> webserver

with a dumb certificate on the second segment that my ssl-proxy does not 
check at all. This way the applications are OK to generate SSL links.
