[stunnel-users] Connect using TLS with public Web Server

[Carlos Castro]

@Peter ... I'm sure you are the Best! :)

Now it's works . I needed put ctm.omgeo.net in host file y ready :)

Now i put http://ctm.omgeo.net:19201 and I can connect with 
https://ctm.omgeo.net  (curl  , firefox , application works!)

Many thanks :)
