Dear Chris:

    I agree with Roland's comments. You have to code a custom proxy /
translation from HTTPS to HTTP or simple install HTTPS on the actual web =
server
handling the request. I don't think there is a product that is available.=
 It is
like trying to take HTTP requests but turn them into FTP via a proxy, it =
is no
simpler even though you would think since http and https are spelled simi=
lar.
Good luck

Tarak
