Okay I wrote a first draft of such an HOWTO (plain text, no
formatting nor hyperlinks, and no DeepL Write fine tuning, and only
from my Debian point of view, no MacOS, Windows or BSD...).

What do you think, where should I place this HOWTO?  Currently I tend
to add it to the user-manual, since it's not a question (this would
fit in the FAQ), but an explanation with some chapters:

Currently I have (draft!):

HTTPS-Inspection
 How TLS-Certificates for websites work
 How HTTPS inspection works
 What happens, if the original certificate is invalid?
 Configuration of HTTPS inspection in privoxy
 Browser configuration
 Activation of HTTPS inspection
Client-Tags


Maybe I could insert this between
10. Privoxy's Template Files
and
11. Contacting the Developers, Bug Reporting and Feature Requests
maybe as two new <sect2> below a new <sect1> "HOWTOs"?

So, enough for today, more to come in the next days.

Greetings
Roland
