SSL (again)

Hi everyone -

I posted this question earlier this morning, not sure if it would be lost in
the deluge of Adobe acquires Macromedia postings, but I am gritting at the
teeth at this.maybe my previous post was confusing, so I have simplified it
below.

I have set up a few Win 2K Pro machines used by developers with IIS running
with SSL and a self-generated certificate using GnuWin32 tools. I was
showing junior developers how to generate their own certificates and run SSL
on their machines. Now what I want to show them is SSL and Flashcom.

So I created a simple client side Flash App to start off, with a username
field, a password field, and a submit button. On submit, I would make a
Flash Remoting call to a ColdFusion component that authenticates the user by
comparing their info to that found in a database.

My connection code looks like this -

//initialize the Flash Remoting MX Object

NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("https://localhost/flashservices/gateway");

gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();

authenticate_cfc =
gatewayConnection.getService("projects.abc.xyz.fcsauthenticate", this);

Similarly, I created a main.asc file which includes the following code
snippet;

// Load the NetServices Class Libraries

load("netservices.asc");

load("components.asc");

application.onConnect = function(clientObject, ticket_hash) {

NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl(
"https://localhost/flashservices/gateway");

var gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();

var authenticate_cfc =
gatewayConnection.getService("projects.abc.xyz.fcsauthenticate", this);

//call the server function, authenticateUser,passing the username and
password

var invokeService = cf_authenticate_cfc.dologin(enc_info);

};

With SSL off, no certificates, and using
http://localhost/flashservices/gateway/ as the gateway, the whole
application works fine. However, whenever I invoke SSL with my
self-generated cert and using https://localhost/flashservices/gateway/ as
the gateway, I keep on getting this error

Error opening URL "https://localhost/flashservices/gateway".

Has anyone else encountered or found a resolution to this issue?
