I use stunnel for connecting my old POP3 client to a SSL POP3 server.

Configuration file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
client=yes
foreground=yes
debug=7
pid=
sslVersion=all
[gmx_pop3]
accept=30027
connect=pop.gmx.net:995
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

My client connects to local port 30027, stunnel then forwards to pop.gmx.net
port 995. If i restart my router i also have to stop and restart the stunnel
processes even if no connection was active.

I understand that you would need one configuration and one local port for
each https server you want to connect to. Maybe there are better solutions.


Have a nice day :)
