Thanks for that one!

Here is a patch to update the documentation based on this - this should make
it less dependant on the version of OpenSSL used.

To create a quick self-signed certificate, use the CA.pl script

CA.pl -newcert

Or you can do it manually:

openssl req -new -text -out cert.req (you will have to enter
a password)
mv privkey.pem cert.pem.pw
openssl rsa -in cert.pem.pw -out cert.pem (this removes the password)
openssl req -x509 -in cert.req -text -key cert.pem -out cert.cert

I have applied an earlier patch to this file for SSL. Could you check
the current tree and see how you like it?
