RE: ImageDirSecure doesn't work

I haven't been following this thread that carefully, so I apologize if
this has already been covered.

My understanding of ImageDirSecure (like SecureURL) is that they are used
when the secure URL is different than the normal one. On hosted sites it
often looks like this:

VendURL  http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/simple
SecureURL https://www.securesite.com/mysite/cgi-bin/simple

And the image directories are:

ImageDir  http://www.mysite.com/images/
ImageDirSecure  https://www.securesite.com/mysite/images/

I've had problems setting this up, and there is a patch to fix the problem
where you get "mysite/mysite" in the secure URL. Hope this helps.
