For those who have lived in the world of paranoia long enough, please welcome
me to that side of life ;)

I am running apache+modssl on port 443. I want stunnel to listen on port 80,
and then connect to port 443 instead, so that the users can just type
www.domain.tld and not https://www.domain.tld.

I have put this in stunnel.conf

[https]
accept  = 80
connect = localhost:443


sockstat -l shows stunnel listening on port 80, but in the life of me, I
cannot just connect to that box if I do not use https://.... 

Can someone bail me out here with advise??

Thanks
