[hobbit] Problems with HTTPS Continue

[Geoff Hallford]

Hi Charles,

I just used wget w/ SSL to download the file fine but it did complain about
the certificate name. Would an invalid certificate affect Hobbit use of
HTTPS?:

bigbrother:/hobbit/server/www # wget
https://142.224.108.83/apps/SCMClientWin32.exe --no-check-certificate
--15:27:35--  https://142.224.108.83/apps/SCMClientWin32.exe
           => `SCMClientWin32.exe'
