One pretty straightforward approach is to use something like stunnel:

http://www.stunnel.org/

With stunnel you can simply wrap your plain Lua HTTP server and access 
it over TLS:

http://localhost:1080/
https://localhost:1443/

The stunnel configuration looks something like this:

[stunnel]
accept=1443
connect=1080

In other words: accept TLS connections on port 1443 and forward them to 
port 1080 where your regular server runs.
