Not initially, but possibly in a future iteration.

OK, good to know.

Ultimately, in addition to these tools, it would be great to have ACME / LE support built into web server platforms, which are already running all the time.

I see, thanks, hence the emphasis on protocol not product. Great idea, let's hope it takes off, it'd be really nice to be able to just add a config for ssl_on and let the server deal with the rest. I suppose it's early days for discussions with server providers?

I don't know what the story is with that site

It's weird how old and busted CA sites are, almost without exception, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a place selling certs doesn't even use them properly, but as you point out, they've issued letsencrypt.org, and that works fine. Good to know.

So Let's Encrypt certificates should work wherever that site works

This would be a great line for your how it works, rather than browser-trusted, which could mean anything really.

Thanks again for this great idea, looking forward to trying it out.

Turns out they had the wrong certificate chain provisioned. Seems to be fixed now.
