url GET https requests --> "walking" thru certificate issues

[David Bovill]

Sounds to me like you need to download and install a certificate and  
then use this certificate in Rev - the process you describe is what  
the browser does to install this certificate - so one way or another  
you need to get Rev to point to this certificate on the local machine  
- see the recent post from Dar regarding my question

I think this won't work for you - as this is just for using htpps  
without certificates - and you need to install one just as the  
process of dialogues you describe does for the browser - is this  
right Dar? Here is the relevant post from Dar which I quote - you  
would not be using a CAcert certificate, but the right one from your  
own server - don't ask me yet how to do this - but whoever sets up  
your server side SSL certificates "may" understand what you are  
talking about :)
