Actually, the connection is over HTTPS. Connection to Admin thru HTTP
is still forbidden.

i could login thru HTTPS to Admin by using the password set in
parameters_443.py, but, hitting appadmin.py's index on the Admin's
EDIT screen gave me 400 BAD REQUEST. Commenting out these lines was
the only way i could find to avoid the error so far. Even if these two
lines are commented out, the connection is still HTTPS. Still risky?

i did something i should have done before asking... ran the shell on
web2py, and found
request.env.remote_addr is '127.0.0.1' and
request.env.http_host is '127.0.0.1:8000'
so
request.env.remote_addr != request.env.http_host.split(':')[0]
looks false. Then, it should be ok not to comment out the lines! BUT,
i get the error 400 BAD REQUEST :-(
When i comment these out, no error occurs. This is very confusing to
me... i must have missed something obvious.

will appreciate any hints or suggestions.
