I agree with Nobbie. Batch scripts are just simple text files. You can download them, examine the content to be sure what they are doing, and run them. Sure, people have done all sorts of things, good and bad, with batch scripts. Know your source and what the script does, and you are fine.
I've successfully setup https locally with Apache under XAMPP. Creating the certificate was probably the easier part. Getting the rest of the configuration correct took more effort. What I found was that Apache configuration approach, with regards to what configuration file does what, have changed over time in terms of where certain settings should go, but the settings involved are the same or similar. I got https to work, but more as an exercise, as on localhost, it provides, in my situation, no real value.
If you really want https working, don't blanket disregard/fear bacth files, and do some research regarding configuration of Apache and https. I do not recall all the steps I took at this time, as it has been a while.
