Apache + AutoIt = HTTPS API on AutoIt

[argumentum 542]

I can TCP/IP in AutoIt, hence, make a HTTP deamon. Now, how can I HTTPS to use SSL !??
Well, Apache has this "mod_proxy.so" module that can let me have SSL and what not is in Apache.
All that is needed is to tell Apache what I wanna do by editing httpd.conf .

# Implements a proxy/gateway for Apache.
# 1. Open /Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf
# 2. Enable the following Modules by removing the # at the front of the line.
#  - LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
#  - LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#  - LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
#
# 3. Copy and Paste below to the bottom of httpd.conf
#
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
  ProxyRequests On
  <Proxy *>
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
  </Proxy>
  ProxyVia Off
  ProxyPreserveHost Off
  ProxyPass /home/ http://127.0.0.1:84/home/
  ProxyPassReverse /home/ http://127.0.0.1:84/home/

  SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
  # ..since we are not using "keep-alive", we are using "close"

</IfModule>

...et voila  

I'm using XAMPP ( https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html )
and this is my solution to avoid coding in PHP, as I feel more comfortable coding in AutoIt.
A "muli-thread or concurrency" can be done by forking the socket ( https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/199177-fork-udf-ish/ )
but responses are under 20 ms., so I feel fine with a single thread.

I modified an example ( attached below ), so can try out the concept.

PS: I am not an Apache guru. I just discovered this and it opens a world of possibilities. In my case, I'm thinking of an API to query SQLite 

PS2: I'm not gonna make Poll but do click like if you do
