From the description of the stunnel4 package, it looks like that the application just acts as a secured messenger: at the server side data is encrypted, at the client side it's unencrypted without touching the message contents itself (like rewriting http:// URLs to https://). Since you control the Apache server, you are recommended to configure SSL on Apache. For example, see How to easily deploy HTTPS in ubuntu 10.04?
