I don't know if this helps, but I run BaseX listening only to
"localhost" so that SSL isn't an issue (as a connection to localhost
doesn't normally go over a network), and connect (on the same system)
from PHP or Perl (!) or you can proxy via apache.

If BaseX is running on a different computer, you could also proxy on
the system running BaseX e.g. with apache and .htaccess or the server
conf & mod_rewrite. That way you'd use SSL to get to apache and then an
in-memory connection from there to BaseX.
