+SSL Root CAs
 =================
 
 The module you need to solve node's SSL woes when including a custom certificate.
+
+Let's say you're trying to connect to a site with a cheap-o SSL cert -
+such as RapidSSL certificate from [name.com](http://name.com) (the **best** place to get your domains, btw) -
+you'll probably get an error like `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` and after you google around and figure that
+out you'll be able to connect to that site just fine, but now when you try to connect to other sites you get
+`CERT_UNTRUSTED` or possibly other errors.
+
+This module is the solution to your woes!
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+```javascript
+'use strict';
+
+var https = require('https')
+  , cas
+  ;
+  
+cas = https.globalAgent.options.ca = https.globalAgent.options.ca || [];
+
+cas = cas.concat(require('ssl-root-cas').getOnce());
+cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '01-cheap-ssl-intermediary-a.pem')));
+cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '02-cheap-ssl-intermediary-b.pem')));
+cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '03-cheap-ssl-site.pem')));
+```
+
+BAD IDEAS
+===
+
+This will turn off SSL validation checking. This is not a good idea. Please do not do it.
+(really I'm only providing it as a reference for search engine seo so that people who are trying
+to figure out how to avoid doing that will end up here)
+
+```javascript
+process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0"
+```
+
+Don't use solutions like
+
+The same dissolution from the terminal would be
+
+```bash
+export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED="0"
+node my-service.js
+```
