Accessing private servers over SSL in Steam Client



  •  Is it possible to add an option (or does it already exist), to have the steam client access private servers via SSL, just like the production server?

    I've already proven I can easily add SSL support to the server by hiding it behind a nginx proxy, but the steam client always wants to speak plain http.  I've tried using a well-known port like 443, but I expect that the option just isn't there on the client side.

    I'd like to play around with some auth mods and I'd rather not have everything flying around in plain text.
