Thank you, Anonymous Monk.

The last hint was helpful. I'll have a look at Gepok. It seems promising.

Update: I looked at it and as far as I can see it fulfills exactly what I want for development. Therefor a ++ to our Anonymous Monk.

Best regards

    I really like Gepok. For Starman etc the advice is to place an HTTPS proxy (e.g. Apache) in front of the server. However, that means that the server misses out on all the transactional information in the HTTPS connection, such as client certificates. Gepok has the HTTPS built in, so you can use HTTPS certificates for authentication.

      Sounds fishy, it doesn't look from the docs like Gepok does anything more than Perlbal in terms of ssl suport

        I can't comment on Perlbal, but for my particular usage, Gepok's ssl_verify_mode and ssl_verify_callback options were useful. Indeed, I wrote the patch to implement them and submitted it to Gepok's author. Also useful is $env->{'gepok.socket'} being available to PSGI applications.
