You need to contact me directly.  I have this setup working great.

1.  thttpd
2.  stunnel
3.  xml-rpc available via ether 80 or 443

Example of getting software version info from device:

---- request ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>version</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string></string></value></param>
</params>
</methodCall>
---- response ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value><string>Version: 1.0.0 Development, Build:
050106-090415</string></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Version: 1.0.0 Development, Build: 050106-090415

Now the only problem is that thttpd sees all 443 connections as coming
from 127.0.0.1.  If that is okay then your in great shape to implement.
