I didn't try initially.  But just did, and it does not work.  Not sure of the point, anyway, since it's nothing that needs protection from prying eyes.

 

I forgot to mention in my initial post that you will get some warnings about expired keys, but they are just warnings because you've told the OS to ignore them.

https would also verify the cert, and provide protection against a man-in-the-middle attack.  So there would be some value if it worked (over and above the encryption)
