+ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.
+     Possible values are 'always' (use it for all pages), 'never'
+     (don't use it for any pages), or 'sometimes' (use it for
+     sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
+     but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
+sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like
+           'secure.example.org'. You should be careful to set cookie
+           parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
+           "normal" server can access the session cookie and
+           preferably other cookies as well.
