I'm working on a service where in production, we're going to use hardware load balancers with SSL offloading capabilities. However our dev environments don't have this capability, but I want to keep the configuration as close as possible to how it runs in production.

Additionally, even for testing, the sites need to be SSL protected(this is a requirement of the centralized authentication system). It doesn't need to be a valid certificate.

My question:
Is there a small SSL offloading proxy which can be easily and automatically installed in Windows? Something that can listen on port 443 crack the SSL and proxy the request over HTTP to localhost. That's all I want it to do. It must also be able to be set up and configured from a script.

A: 

Perhaps Stunnel http://www.stunnel.org/ is want you want. I have done scripted the installs with vbscript in the past. There really isn't much of a install, just copy a few files and build a configuration file. If you want it to run as a windows services I guess there would be a bit more work involved.

Thanks. I forgot about this program!

I haven't tried this, but I'm curious if it would work.
