Ummm 1 little problem here, if you remove the pop-ups, you increase the
risk of someone making a certificate for "*", or even better yet, remove
SSL altogether and have someone acting as a proxy, sure they may not
listen on an open connection, but if you're able to proxy the data it's
almost as easy...
