[stunnel-users] Using stunnel to add https to a webserver that doesn't have ssl setup

Thanks for the quick reply!  So... what http code do I use to break out the 
infinite loop so it loads only once?

I think the other 2 circumstances may have something similar happening to them 
(which are forwarded using the web server instead).  If I use the webserver to 
rewrite the URL, the web browser tries to do something (I can't tell what), then 
returns the error below:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address 
in a way that will never complete.

Please note that traffic coming out of the stunnel looks - and actually
*is* - just as port-80-ish to the actual webserver as native HTTP requests do, 
so unless you take special measures to break the loop, the webserver will try to 
(re-)redirect *that, too*.
