Here is what I want:
I go to https://www.secure.com, navigate to a specific page on the site, then save its content to a file. As long as the page is in the browser, the HTTPS protocol itself grants the authenticity of the page, but after saving it to a file, anyone can modify it. Let's say I don't trust myself and nobody trusts me, but I must prove that this page, that has been saved to disk, has original content generated by www.secure.com. I can't sign it with my own-generated private key because as I mentioned, nobody trusts me. They only trust www.secure.com. So I would like to save either a raw HTTPS content or a decrypted HTTP response with a digital signature that can be verified if someone takes a look at the (cert / public key / whatever) of www.secure.com.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
