I have no idea why you're trying to install Client Certificates when you
want SSL to work on your dev server (i.e. https://localhost to work) -- they
are completely orthogonal issues. You only need to install a Cert for the
Server to have SSL working, and I recommend you use SelfSSL to do this.
Client Certificates implies that you first have SSL working on the Server
and THEN you worry about auth via certificates sent by the client. Thus, it
is irrelevant whether you followed some instructions to the letter -- you
followed the wrong instructions to setup SSL, so it's obviously not working.

If you'd run SelfSSL, you will find your dev machine magically responding to
https://localhost , and we can all move on...

If that doesn't work, run SSLDiag to troubleshoot.

Not easily - my ISP purchased it on my behalf and installed it for me...
