Title: The method I proposed in an earlier commit does not handle SSLExceptions...

... well (crashes the entire server when this happens). The solution is to upgrade the version of web.py you're using to the latest source instead of the older version installed via easy_install. With the new (fixed) web.py source, you can enable SSL as in the initial cookbook page.

Sorry for any confusion. This was a confusing issue to solve :)
