Mercurial 1.7.3 Windows Certificate Error

Question

I am trying to clone my repo in Mercurial 1.7.3 on Windows and get the following error:

C: \ Dev> hg clone https://dev.mydomain.com/repo abort: certificate error dev.mydomain.com: certificate is for * .webfaction.com

Do I have to pay for a real SSL certificate to get it working at all, or can I get it to make a clone? (I understand that this is not a good idea overall for security reasons. I would just like the code to be extracted.)

Thanks Brian
