It's a nice tutorial. The title tripped me out, though: a common webserver + HTTPS + free certificate on Windows/Linux is "state of the art secure web deployment?" I'd hate to see what passes for average or (shudders) ancient.

In my mind, I'm seeing "state of the art" being more like a combo of Ur/Web for apps, robust implementation of OP2 web browser for client, lighttpd rewritten in Haskell, HTTPS component written in SPARK or Rust, all running on GenodeOS or CheriBSD in isolated partitions, C parts compiled with CompCert extended with Softbound + CETS, anti-fuse FPGA doing I/O offloading/mediation, and hardware done in Bluespec. That is state of the art with probably badass results. This submission is... more run of the mill. Immediately useful, though. :)
