go-ethereum(geth) does not. I can't speak for other clients. Your best bet is to setup nginx as a reverse proxy and have nginx handle the SSL/TLS. That's what I'm doing, and it works pretty well.

This also does not take into any other security issues, so you really should only limit the calls to read-only(i.e. no personal API availability).

    Could you share your nginx config or references? I don't know how to set up the reverse proxy.
