Authentication methods for Haskell web applications.

Note for Rpxnow: By default on some (all?) installs wget does not come with root certificates for SSL. If this is the case then Web.Authenticate.Rpxnow.authenticate will fail as wget cannot establish a secure connection to rpxnow's servers.

A simple *nix solution, if potentially insecure (man in the middle attacks as you are downloading the certs) is to grab a copy of the certs extracted from those that come with firefox, hosted by CURL at http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem , put them somewhere (for ex, ~/.wget/cacert.pem) and then edit your /.wgetrc to include: ca_certificate=/.wget/cacert.pem

This should fix the problem.
