You should be able to do it easily with 2.6. The SSL acceleration will
allow the https:// bit. A smart redirector will give you the
https://...?url=> to url value translation. The internal HTTP server
and FTP servers will run trivially. You'll need to chat with Henrik
about the SSL gatewaying, as that is needed to access the internal
https:// servers on a new SSL connection.
