Has anyone looked at receiving HTTPS / SSL connections from a meteor?

In particular: how can I configure a meteorite to receive and work with HTTPS connections?

I do not believe that you can use ssl certificates with Meteor. What you can do is put the node.js proxy in front of Meteor and handle the ssl connections this way.
