In reading the README, there is no patent issues? Also, what about export
issues?

Agreed, but, isn't the name, http://<name of site> the name of site has to
be fixed?
What I'm saying, the client uses the name to do a certification lookup using
another site?

Help! I'm new to using OpenSSL what would be the commandline augments?
