Thread:Extension talk:VisualEditor/Parsoid SSL error/reply

I find that the problem might be that nodejs doesnt accept self signed certificates. I find that a rather problem because the wiki is for a small non-commercial community without a 2nd level domain behind it (server is running behind a DynDNS hostname), so we really cant afford an SSL certificate. I consider this a major deal because all the other services of our community are running SSL-protected and mediawiki would now force me to allow non-secure traffic just for using VisualEditor. Is there any way around this? Otherwise I would consider installing a Wiki Plugin for wordpress which then allows me to still use SSL-protection next to being able to use a visual WYSIWYG editor.
