I updated the mhttpd HTTPS/SSL server (mongoose) and https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html is
now more or less happy with it. google chrome connects using "modern cryptography".

Stefan identified a serious multi-thread locking bug in mhttpd that affects the operation of the sequencer (a race condition between db_set_record() and
