Jaak,

Take a look now.

I’ve upgraded the HTTP server to avoid SSLv3 and RC4. Had to explicitly add TLS 1.0. And specifically added support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2. That means we have limited support for Windows XP users. If we have problems I may need to add SSLv3 and RC4 back in as a fall back for them.

The only thing keeping us from A+ is HSTS.
