HTTPS from OS2 to a Web Server

I have a OS2 server and am currently sending HTTP requests over the internet to a web server. My customer wants to make this connection secure. How do I use SSL to make HTTPS requests from OS2 to this remote web server? I do not mind using the Apache Server. Does anyone know if the Apache Server can take in HTTP requests and convert them to HTTPS before transmitting them over the internet?

Does anyone know of any specific solution to this problem. I have been given a lot of ideas but no definite solution.

Thanks...
