I use an apache reverse proxy to do exactly what you want, SSL and auth. I use digest auth. My library is at "https://my-site/library", so I have calibre set up with a prefix. I use port 9192 internally between calibre and apache. That port is not permitted through the firewall.

The section in the ssl-sites config file looks like:

Code:

        <Location "/library">
                AuthType Digest
                AuthName "Whatever you want"
                AuthDigestDomain /

                AuthDigestProvider file
                AuthUserFile path-to-file-for-digest-passwords
                Require valid-user
        </Location>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule ^/library/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:9192/library/$1 [proxy]
        RewriteRule ^/library http://127.0.0.1:9192 [proxy]
