the http proxy server mode of ncat doesn't support SSL, while the normal listen mode does. I couldn't find anything related to the issue in the mailing list archive and the commit history. Has there some work been done in that direction? Is it planned? If not, I would like to work on a patch.
Ncat doesn't support SSL in proxy mode, but it's something I've had on a TODO list for a long time. I started to do it be reimplementing the server in Nsock, in the branches svn://svn.insecure.org/nmap-exp/david/ncat-proxy starting at r13207 svn://svn.insecure.org/nmap-exp/david/nsock-proxy They are so old now, though, that it's better to start over. It may not be that hard to add SSL support to the proxy. A patch would be welcome. (Almost?) all socket operations go through socket_buffer objects in http.c. You might be able to isolate the SSL stuff there.
