Subject: Which server component?

Hello!

I have the scenarion, that on the one hand, there are mobile devices
which are the clients, on the other hand there is a server with ruby.

The clients send the messages to the server witch JSON via a persistent
TCP connection (it must be persistent). The server (ruby scripts)
receive the messages and send a JSON answer string back to the client.

My ruby tcp server is build up with this snippet of source code:
http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/snippets/server.rb

Now I like to run it on port 80/443 as a webservice, because the tcp
server is not so scalable and I do not have any idea how to run it
secure via ssl/tls.
What卒s the best way to do this? The ruby-side ist pure ruby (not rails)
with gems like Sequel, Validatable, JSON.

Should I use an apache webserver mit Phusion Passenger or there are
better ways that the server could make persistent tcp connections with
security (SSL) to send/receive JSON messages?

Thanks a lot in advance & Best Regards.
