how do I configure stunnel to serve https

Question

I'm wondering if anyone has configured https using stunnel without using apache or any web server. I will be using this to replace our hudson build system which currently is running via apache https (winstone is proxyed via apache) which is kind of heavy.

I was the one who configured the apache https in our hudson build system but I can't seem to understand as to how to do it the stunnel way.

Here's a sample run of stunnel in my CLI:

buggedtech~$ stunnel
Reading configuration from file /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
Snagged 64 random bytes from /Users/icasimpan/.rnd
Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /Users/icasimpan/.rnd
PRNG seeded successfully
Using DH parameters from /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
DH initialized with 512 bit key
ECDH initialized
Certificate: /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
Certificate loaded
Key file: /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
Private key loaded
SSL context initialized for service https
Configuration successful
Clients allowed=125
FD=8 in non-blocking mode
FD=9 in non-blocking mode
FD=10 in non-blocking mode
Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket
Error binding https to ::1:443
bind: Permission denied (13)

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the tip wag. I also realized that so I tried doing sudo and it now works! :)
