I am going to add that the above is necessary with Firefox if you use a
self-signed certificate. Firefox seems to track certificates by server
name and port number. So, you'll have to go to that URL and make the
security exception for its certificate, too. You will also have to do
this every time you change certificates on the server as well.

I have not had to do the above with Chromium, and I hear it is not
necessary with Chrome, either.

You can also avoid the whole mess by setting up a proxy server, which
may be overkill for a test installation, but is a good idea for production.
