Connection Failure

[TheDreadPirate]

When you say that it works "flawlessly" with the IP address in a browser, does that mean you don't get a warning about the cert?  Or do you get a warning?  I'm assuming that the fact you are REQUIRING https, http will get redirected to https. if you use the IP it isn't going to match the domain address in your cert.  Non-browser apps won't be able to handle that.
