https_port works fine in accelerator mode.

But Suqid-2.5 (without SSL update) can not initiate https:// requests, so
once it has accepted the https:// request it is unlikely to be able to
forward it properly.

The client should reject this as the SSL certificate of the server does
nto match, but if you make your own CA trusted by the clients then it may
be possible to work around this.
