Listener 3.0.2 (why not 3.0.8?!?) EXPORT...

Makes me think you can only use 40-bytes keys (those were the days the US government thought they were faster than internet. Encryption was forbidden to export...)

How did you request your certificate? Can you still get 40-byte key certificates?!?

Also, your native port is 8080; not 80 - is this because you run on *nix, using the unprivileged ports? SSL usually runs on 443 (not 4443, which would be a choice made often when running unpriv'd ports).
