It is not a big deal to use your isps secure server, if it is set up in a
way that
you can use it:

How are you supposed to use it (ask them)

IE:

https://www.secure-domain.com/~user

or 

https://user.secure-domain.com

(or possibly some other way)


Once you figure it out, try the appropriate link:

https://www.secure-domain.com/~user/cgi-bin/simple

or 

https://user.secure-domain.com/cgi-bin/simple

(or possibly some other way)/cgi-bin/simple

Once you figure it out, use that url (minus /cgi-bin/simple) as your
secure url.


If they say that your secure directory is different than your normal
directory, politely ask them if it can be changed to point to your normal
directory. There maybe a way to do it with out this change, but it would
be more difficult and I don't have the answers.

I use a different secure domain for several catalogs, but I have the following
set up so that it works without any special changes:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/simple /usr/home/USER/cgi-bin/simple
Alias /simple/ /usr/home/USER/www/simple
(replace USER with yours)


That way I can call:
https://www.secure_domain/cgi-bin/simple

and it would be the same as:

http://www.my_domain.com/cgi-bin/simple

Hope this helps,
Kyle

The reason for the Alias is for any graphics etc
