I have exactly the same problem but I can't manage to create a valid
"localhost" certificate, can you give me more detail on you certificate?
Here are the information I gave my certificate :

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:FR
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:.
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Lyon
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Hexaflux
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:SERD
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:localhost
Email Address []:qsdf@qsdf.fr
