nit, be more precise in describing what this is about, "secure" is a
very broad goal. Better to specifically say SSL connection.

Also, above and everywhere else in the doc, format the text to cleanly
wrap at 78 columns or less, so it'll be suitable for filing as an ARC case.

Why only 5.0.x? What about the recently integrated 5.1?

The above needs a lot more explanation. Which CA cert? Keys, in
source? Sounds wrong. But maybe that's not what it meant? Please
provide enough detail here to describe precisely what's being done,
I'll defer more questions until then.

Is the -include package needed at runtime?
