[ale] Accessing router admin page via https:

[Scott Castaline]

I remember conversing with someone from ASUS North American support when 
I first got it. He had actually written firmware specifically for that 
unit based on I believe Tomato. I was planning on installing it but not 
sure why I didn't especially since at that time ASUS was inviting 
hackers to write for that router in both DD-WRT & Tomato. I think he had 
told me that the factory actually used Tomato with their own UI.
