No, this is not possible since the encryption is performed by the
server and the browser and the proxy only sees a stream of encrypted
bytes.  There is no way that WWWOFFLE can decode the data when using
ssl.

This option in WWWOFFLE is provided as a convenience for people who
want to proxy all SSL requests, perhaps for logging of https server
hostnames or as part of a network firewall.
