Apache Server with RunRev stacks doing the processing?

I'm looking for a way to have an Apache server catch a request (will
be using SOAP which is basically just a bunch of XML), feed it to a
RunRev stack that I can debug using the RunRev development
environment (ie not using a text file with XTalk in it), and then
format a reply (more XML) and feed it back to the client that sent
the request. I want to be able to watch the stack visually process
the request so that I can step through the code as it processes a
request and debug it quickly.
My preference is to run this on Mac OS X if that makes a difference
and my preference is to use HTTPS as the transport method, not HTTP
(which means I really do need to use Apache as the web server). Is
anyone doing something like this OR does anyone have suggestions on
how I might implement this.
I'm assuming I'd set up HTTPS on Apache to catch the SOAP requests if
that is possible. The question is how do I transfer the data that
Apache receives to a RunRev stack and then how do I send it back? I
do this today with Hypercard using Jason Sendman's acgiDispatcher
that feeds Apache gathered data via AppleScript to an application
stack but if there is a more elegant way to do this without going
through AppleScript, that would be better. The main thing is I want
to retain the RunRev development environment so that I can quickly
modify and troubleshoot the code.
Suggestions and links welcome. Be happy to pay someone to walk me
through this setup if that gets me up and running quickly.
