Well I made some progress based on these suggestions. What I did so far is this:
- Copied HTTP::Daemon and modified it as rob_au suggested to make an SSL version;
- Used that base to create an SSL proxy in addition to the existing HTTP proxy I already had. This was done by subclassing the proxy class I already had and overriding the creation of the daemon with the SSL version;
- Created a server certificate. This is where most of the time went. Creation of server certificates was a bit new to me and not really clearly documented in the OpenSSL docs.
At this point I had two proxy server classes: one for HTTP and one for SSL. I built two stub servers using those and fired them up. The results so far are that I can connect to the SSL proxy fine and it's able to see the HTTP traffic going back and forth if I send it the requests explicitly. But I can't get the server to be used as a true proxy by setting it in the browser. When I do that, OpenSSL complains when it sees the clear text CONNECT request, spitting out this proxy error with DEBUG on:
error message: 'SSL_accept: 'error:1407609B:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLI
+ENT_HELLO:https proxy request
So it looks like OpenSSL wants some special set up for proxies I'm not seeing just yet ... either that or it explicitly prohibits them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
