    Why bother with shell commands when you can do it vi web :D

    I just tested, and YES it works :D.
    Just needs a basic shell command to run.

    Yeah saw that one before but doesn't support auto renewals. Letsencrypt SSL certificates have 90 day expiry ;)

    Above is still manual work unlike my integration which will be automated with auto renewal in place :D

    I didn't stop.
    But I still have it as an option only, not forced.
    I have to support older system, older browser.

    No, google isn't always https.
    Google will only serve http to those do not support https I think.
    And they have very old compatibility cipher suite.

    they're able to serve older ssl certs to older browsers which apache 2.4 can do as well with dual ssl certificate support. Nginx has it on their roadmap for 1.9.x Roadmap – nginx
