I'm so sorry to say this, but Cronicle v0 doesn't support HTTPS / SSL. That is coming in v2 (out later this year).

Some people have hacked it to work, but only barely. Live Log Watching is a no go, and I have no idea how people are hacking multi-servers to communicate over HTTPS.

See previous issues on this topic:

• https behind haproxy #723

Thank you for the info... I removed the HttpForce parameter and it works now. I can't wait to see v2. Excellent job.
