OK, I am in business. In firefox I chose "localhost port 8080" "for all protocols", and in wwwoffle.conf: enable-caching=yes allow-cache=*:443, and no tunnel jazz. I have achieved my goal, lofty enough to float right two whole columns,
To make the https WWWOFFLE browsing experience just like and http browsing experience, so besides the little lock in the corner of the screen and yellow URL, I would hardly know the difference, as I reach for another heaping tablespoon of Spirulina. Aside from firefox asking me something upon the first browse of a lifetime of a given site, it seems I have reached my goal. Good.
