[ale] Accessing router admin page via https:

[Matt Hessel]

Right, I have the Asus RT N66u, https defaults to 8443 I think..

BTW as an alternative to DD-WRT, pick up a merlin build.  This dude hacks
the Asus original software and adds nice features.  Does everything DD-WRT
does while running stable.
