This is the right place :)

I made a patch for that once:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1334266187-30993-5-git-send-email-hannes%40yllr.net&forum_name=vimprobable-users

Apart from a couple of technical issues identified further down the
thread, there were major conceptual issues, though, and it did not seem
to be a particularly popular proposition at the time.

Pending an update (which is questionable right now), my suggestion
would be the following:
- The SSL issue can be solved by importing the bank's certificate (or
  the appropriate root certificate) into your certificate store. That
  should be good practice anyway.
- Assign a key combination to commit and revert those settings you use
  all the time, e.g. bind <C-w> to set the alternate useragent and
  <S-w> to revert back. Certainly not ideal, but a workaround.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. Vimprobable can display local HTML
files. Could you be a bit more specific what is it that is preventing
you from doing what you want to achieve?
