First, you are making a http://127.0.0.1:443 call from your browser to an
https server - http != https :)

Second, I would strongly suggset you not go down this path - you want to
write your ruby server/app and not an https server. Tools like nginx + thin
+ rack (with your app attaching as a rack middleware) would make so much
more sense in 99% of cases. It might take a small amount of time to write up
the config files for the pieces but they are strong solid workhorses that
you aren't going to readily duplicate.
