In an internal build that we are working on, we have proven that we can get
the CLI to work with SSL.  But this internal build has not been released yet
(and there is not target at this time).  We are taking requests for this
feature because as you might have noticed, when SSL is enabled, the web is
"slower" then when SSL is disabled.  If we continue to take on requests, we
can definitely add this functionality.

Yes, I agree with the documentation.  We will update appropriately.

Thanks
