Reading up on stunnel I'm now a little more confused. Though I now understand how you could do the Gopher http and make it https using stunnel. But unless you were using a local stunnel session......oh I'm a bonehead.
That's what you do isn't it? Use two stunnel sessions one at either end. You'd think I'd comprehend a name completely. *headdesk*
