My web server is (include version):
G-WAN Web App. Server v7
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
n/a
I can login to a root shell on my machine:

The version of my client is (output of certbot --version):

The user manual does “mention” TLS/SSL; but fails to show a working example.
No more is known than the cert sub-directory is used for it: http://www.gwan.com/archives/gwan_linux.pdf
I did see the reference to the certs folder, but I think it’s a complete dead end. Might be left over from the time when the author says they had an experimental implementation.
When you actually run the server, it doesn’t even check whether the directory exists (looking at strace). Neither does the certs string appear in its un-upx'd binary.
Agreed.
The software’s last release was six years ago.
One would need to either add to the open source code or choose another web server.
Or, as you suggested, put it behind a TLS capable proxy.
[but I think doing that would defeat the purpose of this software]
