It's only the usemod-wiki program that won't work properly under SSL.

I think that's in there, but I'll go an check that again, thanks for 
reminding me!

Not a bad idea!  Thanks!

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
