Running locally on Tomcat I managed to get https working albeit with a warning from FireFox saying that I had signed the cert by myself. Fair enough, but I cannot get "https://localhost" to work by itself ? Is it because I have got SSL to work on the non-standard port of 8443 and if I go back and assign it to the default 443 - I will not have that problem ?

Not sure if I understand your problem, but if you use 

https://localhost

it's implicitely the same as

https://localhost:443.

So your tomcat has to listen on 443 to make it work. Make sure you have the rights to open 443 and it's not blocked by any other service.
