Here are some coding examples for implementing secured
pages:
When the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) feature has been enabled
for your account, you can use SSL to encrypt any page on
your site. For example, to call a form on your site, you
would use the following:
<a href = "https://www.ssl9.com/joeshmoe/form.html">file</a>
You can SSL encrypt a CGI script while calling it with the
following:
https://www.ssl9.com/joeshmoe/cgi-bin/something.pl
You must reference the page through the hostname of the
ssl server (the name that is on the digital certificate)
or you will receive the "certificate does not match
error".)
Note, most hostnames must begin with the "www"
prefix as in www.ssl9.com
(All links on the page that are being referenced via the
"https" protocol must either be "relative"
links, or they must start with "https". They should
not start with "http". If they do start with "http",
the page will show a "this information is not secure"
error message.)
Also, if you are referencing a directory with the "https"
protocol (for example, you want the "index.html"
page to load), you must put a forward slash after the directory
name. Examples:
Incorrect: https://www.ssl9.com/kin27327
Correct: https://www.ssl9.com/kin27327/
