Package: prayer
Severity: normal

There is no benefit of encrypting data only going through loopback
interface.  Only wasted computations and the hassle of setting up an
acceptable certificate chain for "localhost" as CommonName.

C-client does not special-case localhost.  So if a server offers TLS,
then C-client switches to that even when communicating locally only.

Prayer provides a config set to connect to localhost.  That should
instead be localhost/notls to force non-encrypted connection.
