[ZendTo] help with autorequest

Luigi,

Using https://localhost/ is almost inevitably going to fail. Try using 
the name of the host that is on the SSL cert that the server is using.

Also, the "--insecure" option is there to tell curl to not do all the 
certificate checks it would normally. That definitely improves its 
chances of working if you use https://localhost/ !

Also, add the "--debug" option to the autorequest command, and it will 
show you the curl command instead of executing it. Then you can copy and 
paste that curl command into a shell and run it manually without any of 
the --silent or other "quietening" option. At which point you can see 
what's happening.


Cheers,
Jules.
