Thanks for posting a response Dietmar.

It sounds like this works the same as the http proxies in my OP so it won't
unencrypt the data to make it viewable, but then it doesn't need to for your

In case someone else is reading this and it sounds useful to them, I
couldn't figure the url of your website, so you may want to repost with it.
