Hope this helps you get unstuck.
Currently, there are no versions of Boa that support SSL.
Consider using stunnel to wrap the http service:
1. Bind Boa to localhost, and whatever port you like.
2. Bind stunnel to whatever IP you want, and port 443
3. Tell stunnel to forward unencrypted connections to localhost and the
port that you bound Boa to.
4. test

There are some caveats, and I'm sure the 4 steps outlined above are
incomplete in some way, but that's what I would do, at least from an
outline point of view.

Future versions of Boa may support SSL using GNUTLS.
