Hi John, thanks for your suggestion, I was thinking something similar.
Can I do this with proxy rewrite redirection??  :

>From GemStone app, I connect to:
http://localhost:8776/specialService/www.aserverthatlistens.com/serviceToCall

And that is redirected to:

https://www.aserverthatlistens.com/serviceToCall   ?

Could that be done with rewrite/redirection rules?
Basically, it would be "does url begins with
http://localhost:8776/specialService"  if true, then it should be
https:// ,  the last part of the original url :)

Probably I could experiment a bit (I have a server running in nginx)..

Thanks!
