Webdot is just a cgi script, so you should be able to configure apache
however you do it normally for https.  Webdot shouldn't care.

Webdot isn't involved in the getting of the initial html page, only in the
subsequent hrefs to the graph images and maps, so the html
pages can come from anywhere with https or not (except I think browsers
may complain about potential security issues if you have a non-https 
image in an https page).

Its possible webdot might get confused if it is trying to get .dot files
from the same server using relative URLs, because thats when webdot is 
acting
as an http client and https is not supported.     You may need a 
separate, non-https, graph server.
