How can a Datasnap REST server (running as a service on Windows) be configured to process https calls in Delphi XE? Are there any good examples around? Delphi XE2 upwards appears to have additional components - does this mean that XE can't do it?

According to the "What's New" in Delphi XE2:
Support for HTTPS in DataSnap Server Wizard and DataSnap WebBroker Application Wizard. This is great because: Now the server does not have to be running in IIS to have HTTPS support (as it was before). You can avoid the complexity and the overhead of IIS.

Does the Datasnap server run as a stand-alone process or service (not in IIS)? In this case I would place the DataSnap server behind a reverse http proxy, for example the Apache HTTP server. Revers proxy configuration can be done with a few lines.
(using a reverse proxy in front of the Delphi server also has other advantages)
