On-rev / LiveCode Server SSL testing with self-certification

Keith,

I don't know which one is the easiest. When I did it long long long time
ago, I think I went with time-bound, I think....

If it is just for some experimentation, then, there is no harm. Remember, if
you are using selfsigned certs and you're trying to connect to them from
LiveCode, you need to libURLSetSSLVerification false.
