This is a generic init-script, easily modifiable to suit your needs. It uses quite a lot of lsb init-functions and adheres to the lsb standards.

Test your JKS file easily with java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=your_trust_store.jks TestJKS <url> [<user> <password>]
/*
Test your JKS file easily.
You have created a java JKS trust store file to access a webservice with a certificate, and you want to test if it works?
Some colleagues often test this by deploying the jks to the application server (tomcat, weblogic...), restarting the server and manually running tests,
and repeating this procedure until the jks is properly created.
you can speed up this test by using this simple java program:
> javac TestJKS.java

The problem with CloudFlare's DNS "CNAME flattening" TTL

[attaching this to a CloudFlare survey why I left them (for DNSimple)]

I was a free user using CloudFlare only for DNS, chiefly because it can simulate CNAME at an apex domain. The apex domains mathdown.net,mathdown.com point to mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com. Cloudflare "CNAME-flattening" nicely returns an A record; unfortunately it's served with a huge TTL of 7 days(!), which causes a long outage when the underlying IP changes.

I asked support how I can lower the TTL (BTW it's great that you provide free support at all) and was told [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/522551, emphasis mine]:

This is based on the TTL of your authoritative provider for mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com:

Netflix on Raspberry Pi (incomplete)

Note: as @clibois mentioned below, due to the DRM Netflix uses, all decoding has to be done in CPU, making it somewhat choppy.

Note 2: Even the RPi 3 suffers from these CPU limitations. There is the potentially risky option of overclocking your RPi 3, but I haven't tried this.

If you manage to get smooth playback, please contact me, or post your solution here

UPDATE: I can no longer get this method to work. I have tried using Chromium v47, and v48, and both result in Netflix error "Oops, something went wrong" / C7053-1807, for which I can find no description online. If you manage to get things up and running, please contact me!
