all,
I have a website which can be accessed via HTTP well at port 86. Now it is required to add SSL to secure the connection. This website is served with thttpd web server which, yes, has no SSL support. I searched a lot through google then. Suggestions are adding SSL through Stunnel to thttpd.
UPDATED:
Here is my stunnel.conf:
; Sample stunnel configuration file for Unix by Michal Trojnara 2002-2013

Here is the result I got:

Here is the port listening information before running /usr/local/bin/stunnel:

And here is the port listening information after running it:

I have no idea now what is going wrong. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
ADDED:
If I close firewall, I can access via https://<my-ip-address> successfully. However, I keep still getting this error message:
Error binding service [https] to 0.0.0.0:443
bind: Address already in use (98)
Wondering why...
