You may be able to proxy it behind nginx, which does support HTTPS.

Some applications do struggle when running behind a proxy (I'm looking at you Jira) but my experience tells me that it's harder to break SSL support than not.

We're running JIRA behind nginx with https. To get it to work properly we had to edit JIRA's server.xml, duplicate the connector but append (e.g.) proxyPort="8443" and scheme="https". In addition, in JIRA's general settings you should make sure that the base URL is set to use https to avoid the SSL warnings.

I'd prefer for it to not. It's better to use nginx or stud to provide HTTPS on top of an HTTP app.

the demo isn't running https. the demo is the 1.0 release, 1.1 will support https.
