Is it possible to run a StandaloneServer over HTTPS?

I have generated a server and client from a wsdl using wsdl2ruby from  
the SOAP4R gem, and have got them working successfully over regular  
http.

Is it possible to set these up (SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer and  
SOAP::RPC::Driver respectively) to run as an https server and client?

There is an ancient post about SSL with SOAP4R here:  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/108292](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/108292)  
…but the example uses a webbrick HTTPServer, and not the  
StandaloneServer generated by wsdl2ruby.

Also, the previous post on that thread says:  
“Are you asking ifthe SOAP::StandAlone server can handle https requests?  
That would have to be WEBrick acting as a ssl server.”  
…but doesn’t expand on this.

Is any of this documented anywhere?

Very greatful for any help- I’m all googled out.
