[rspec-users] [Cucumber] ssl requirement

[s.ross]

I have a fix to SslRequirement that allows you to exclude user- 
specified domain names. It's quite likely that you won't want to use  
SSL on some machines when in development. In any case, I have a bear  
of a time with the Rails Test::Unit setup so that part's missing, but  
look over:
