After a significant amount of wrestling with Slash, we've got SSL working properly. Slash normally tried to prevent people from using SSL unless they were an admin or subscriber. This, combined with some absolutely horrendous buggy code, and compounded by the fact we don't use mod_ssl, was not ideal. I'm pleased to announce that we've managed to exorcise the last of the demons in this code, so right now, you can go up to your URL bar, and fiddle it over to https://soylentnews.org, and it will work!

Right now, we're running with a proper SSL certificate, but secondary services are running with a wild-card CACert certificate, we'll migrate those to a conventional certificate authority once we've done the possible site rename to prevent us from having to buy multiple SSL certificates. I've had to gut the back-end pretty heavily to make this work, so please try it out, and let us know what you find. Once we're fairly certain we've exterminated all the bugs, we'll be taking a serious look at the possibility of going SSL by default.

Until then, enjoy your now-encrypted BaconNews!
