Despite being security-through-obscurity, it *is* possible to run https

Nice idea. Is it easy to support sshd-httpd on the same port  also?

[...] at least casual
scanners could well see an https server instead of SSH...

The scanners I'm afraid of are those that will attempt to talk ssh to
ports 80,443 because the cracker operating them knows that many admins
might very well have configured an ssh there just to be able to access
it when behind a restrictive firewall. For those scanners your proxy
is transparent (as it should be)
