I'm attempting to use an https: protocol request in an
xinclude tag and am getting the following error:

"unable to find valid certification path to requested
target"

I interpret this to mean that forrest is attempting to find
(locally) a trusted certificate that matches that used by
the remote host and is failing. Since https: is a security
oriented protocol, this is probably the correct behavior. My
question is how I configure forrest either (a) look in a
specific file for the certificate or (b) turn off validation
of certificates.  

The server (a subversion server) allows anonymous access, is
accessible from a web browser on the same machine.

I'm aware that there are security certificates at the JVM
level which I could  use, either by adding it
/etc/java-1.5.0-sun/security/cacerts or a commandline option
when starting the JVM, but these seem clumsy overkill.

cheers
