-# HTTP validation
-HTTP validation works as follows:
-- For each domain (e.g. `sub.example.com`), the ACME server sends a
-challenge consisting of an `x` and `y` value. The truth is actually a little
-more complicated than that, but for the sake of this explanation it will suffice.
-- The client has to make sure that when the ACME server makes a request
-to `http://sub.example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/x`, the content of the HTTP
-response will be `y` with some specific headers set as well.
-- The validation request is *always* made to port 80, that cannot be changed.
-- The ACME server **does** follow 301/302 redirects.
-- There may be more than one validation request for the same token, e.g. from
-different locations or different protocols (IPv4/IPv6).
-- Let's Encrypt does **not** disclose the source locations of these requests, which
-effectively means that the domain has to be accessible for the public,
-at least for the duration of the validation. \ No newline at end of file

-# Self-hosting
-This plugin launches a temporary built-in web listener that stores the validation
-response in memory. It can share port 80 with IIS and other (Microsoft) software
-so this doesn't interfere with regular traffic. Not all software supports this
-port sharing feature though. If you get errors telling you that the listener
-cannot be started, try to (temporarely) shut down other processes using the
-port, or look for another validation method.
-
-## Non-default port
-Even though Let's Encrypt will always send validation requests to port 80,
-you may internally proxy, NAT or redirect that to another port. Using the
-`--validationport` switch you can tell the plugin to listen to a specific port.
-
-## Firewall exemption
-Obviously, whichever port is used will have to be accessible from outside, meaning
-your firewall(s) will have to permit access. Unfortunately due to the use of the
-port sharing mechanism, it's not possible to configure the Windows Firewall with
-a rule for a specific application (i.e. `wacs.exe`), so you will have to open the
-port to `System`. If you feel that is too generous, you could automate enabling/
-disabling this rule by running a script before and after `wacs.exe`. Make sure to
-also add that script as steps in the scheduled task.
