I found this answer on Ratchet's google group by Chris Boden:

The best solution would be to use Nginx as your web server. Have Nginx listen on port 80 for incoming connections and have it handle your SSL. Nginx will forward incoming connections to PHP-FPM for your regular website and if it detects a connection is a WebSocket connection have it proxy to your running Ratchet application on a port of your choice. Your javascript could then connect via wss://mydomain.org

This is an alternative way to using stunnel if your application is going to be served using nginx.
