Hi,  
I believe you need to change the backend servers as so:

```auto
backend webservers
	balance roundrobin
	mode http
	server webserver1 x.x.x.x:443 ssl verify none
	server webserver2 x.x.x.y:443 ssl verify none

```

This is - of course - supposing you have self-signed certificates on your backend server.  
If, on the contrary, you have valid certs you can swap `verify` with `required` as documented [here](http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.0/configuration.html#5.1-verify).
