-Authentication methods for Haskell web applications.
-
-Note for Rpxnow: 
-By default on some (all?) installs wget does not come with root certificates
-for SSL.  If this is the case then Web.Authenticate.Rpxnow.authenticate will
-fail as wget cannot establish a secure connection to rpxnow's servers.
-
-A simple *nix solution, if potentially insecure (man in the middle attacks as
-you are downloading the certs) is to grab a copy of the certs extracted from
-those that come with firefox, hosted by CURL at
-http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem , put them somewhere (for ex,
-~/.wget/cacert.pem) and then edit your ~/.wgetrc to include:
-ca_certificate=~/.wget/cacert.pem
-
-This should fix the problem.
