RE: tcpmon with SSL/HTTPS

Why would you want to do something like this?  Kinda defeats the point of
https.

What I'd like to do is have a proxy that can accept a plain text request
over
http and proxy it to an https server.  I'm guessing I can't do this with
tcpmon, but then again, I could be wrong.  Can anyone confirm or provide an
alternate solution?  Thanks.

sounds like "socat" might be a good approach:

We want the traffic between us (the client) and our customer (the server) 
encrypted so it can't be sniffed, but we still want to view the message 
contents.  So HTTP from our application to a local tcpmon for message viewing, 
then HTTPS over the external network to our customer.

(And, of course, we'd remove the monitor entirely once we go into production.)
