Browser and SSL server
Hello.
I have a task to exchange data between an web-browser and my openssl-based
SSL server on local system. As for a SSL-server I should provide SSL
certificate but I can't because the name "localhost" is not trusted by
default and it's impossible to get authorized certificate. It's not good to
watch warnings from browser any time.
Does anybody know how to solve the problem? Maybe exists another way to
communicate with browsers using SSL.
Thanks.

If using Linux, just use the domain name associated with the first NIC, first address.
That should keep the code happy and the kernel will send the packets over the
"localhost" code path (you will even see the packet counts for lo change).
Other Operating Systems - Duh, no information.
