Thanks for the kind words.

Just generate a self-sigend certificate, and put it in the "data" directory.

If you have a copy of openssl, chdir into the data directory, then do:

  openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out cert.pem

If you don't have openssl, the simplest is probably to use the
"generate_cert.go" program, which is included in the Go distribution under
"src/rypto/tls".  You may download a copy here:
