Yeah, I discovered that this doesn't work as expected shortly after
the first time I configured the server -- I just never bothered to
remove the section…

Anyway, back to the matter at hand — does anyone have any idea why
hgweb keeps saying "ssl required" even though the request is, in
theory, going through ssl? Is there any flag that I can turn on to get
more detailed debug information?

At first I thought that my python runtime didn't support SSL, and the
call is in reality going through plain HTTP as a fallback mechanism.
This doesn't seem to be the case, however:
