You seem to misunderstand the network layering concept.

You want something that connects to clients using HTTPS (HTTP/SSL) and
connects them to your application using plain HTTP?

The name for such configuration is "reverse proxy".
  http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy

Only the front listening port is configured with https_port instead of
http_port.

caching is optional.

The action of wrapping/unwrapping SSL requires proxy of some type,
sometimes called tunnel agents.
