This is your reminder :-p

Thank you for this example.

Question w/ Live Certs

If I plugged in real certificates I purchased from Network solutions, created a key, and them added them both, could I assume I could test this locally and NOT receive the errors Secrutiy Waring error from the browser? Logically, my browser should recognize them, and everything should work locally...right? Or am I off base. Great work on this, BTW, this was super easy to understand.

Problem switching out the my-server.crt.pem

Hey there, I've been working at this all day and I'm kind of stuck at this point. I've followed your tutorial and it's worked the best so far in that I can at least get the cert working on your faked ca.

The issue is when I go to switch out the my-server.crt.pem with the one I've received from positiveSLL the browser doesn't say it's untrusted only that the webpage is unavailable. The server itself looks fine as if it was running.

Any guidance at all would be incredibly helpful as I said, been beating my head against this all day.
Thanks!

Post-August request

You mentioned that you'd update this once Mozilla provides SSL certificates (OK, I just realized I'm not even sure exactly what you promised, and I'm so new to SSL/HTTPS that it's all just a jumble of words, but you promised something, and it seemed like something I'd want to see to borrow from!).

Thanks, in advance, for your efforts!

Unhandled rejection Error: unable to verify the first certificate

Hi,
I am mindlessly following the the tutorial and upon starting the server I am greeted with errors.
