also, Firefox 3 gets nasty about adding a self signed cert.
Aparently the Firefox developers hate self signed certs and have made it
harder to get one installed into the browser's list.
I don't use Firefox, so this is not something I have seen myself, but it
was discussed on an article discussion about certificates on CBS
Interactive's techrepublic.com
OK, but I want to make it so that if I input http:// into the address bar, it tells me I have to use https://
I also would like to be able to use http:// for the other domains I use.
Do I have to make a fancy entry into the httpd.conf file?
