I'm not sure I understand why the section that describes HTTP validation so specifically forbids using HTTPS. On the other hand, I can think of use cases where I would want *only* HTTPS authorization:

- The server only supports HTTPS, and perhaps port 80 is blocked by a firewall. This situation applies to many REST endpoints.
- I am migrating from a non-ACME to an ACME cert, and so the server has a perfectly valid HTTPS cert. Or migrating from one ACME CA to a different one.
- I would like to ensure (using CAA records) that my CA is not subject to a DNS cache corruption attack - a threat that the ACME Security Considerations specifically mention.

I would suggest that we specify a HTTPS validation that's exactly like http-01, except that it runs over authenticated HTTPS.

Thanks,
