[ale] Resolved: Semi-OT: Baby steps with SSL and GoAhead webserver

[John Mills]

Mark, ALErs -

I had two more steps to make it work:

1. Build the SSL-enabled server to listen only on port 443. <blush>(I must 
   have thought _InterNet_Magic_(TM) somehow took care of that.)</blush>

2. Populate a set of ./cert/*.pem files, where I had only put the server 
   cert.

Now it accepts an SSL connection.

Thanks.

 - Mills
