Dear Steve,

I always though we put somewhere in the usersguide how to set up w2web
running https....

It is as safe as generating one yourself using ca-certificates. But it's a
pain combing through the manuals to generate once in a while a
certificate. That's why I have included w2web.pem in the w2web package
which is fine and valid until 2015.... by then we might use a different
interface ;-) (almost sounds like "640k will be more than enough for all
times" har har har).

Best
