> If you're forcing SSL in production, you're going to want to turn that off for now.

Great article, but there's no further mention about SSL. Specifically, why should I turn it off in the first place for this gem, and when/how can I turn it back on? Is there some special step(s) needed to do so, and what are they?

It's because the article takes you through running your app in production environment locally on your machine. To do that with ssl you'd need to get that setup locally as well, so I think the author just wanted to avoid dealing with that.

Correct - that's exactly what I meant. Don't turn your SSL off on your production server just to run this gem - that'd be silly!

> production environment locally on your machine

Oxymoron!
