    I might be entirely wrong, but maybe depending on _how_ you point your
    browser, it might not try to encrypt in the first place.
    
    I'd think, that pointing like:
    http://localhost/
    
    might not even try encryption, while
    
    https://localhost:80/
    
    might trick the browser into it.
    
    Just a shot in the blue, and sorry if I didn't understand the site specific
    part (that looked like it might have been an entirely different access
    method, using a browser directly resp. using s_client without stunnel; if
    not, I'm wrong, of course)
