Secure Server


How do I call web pages securely?

All pages that reside in your www directory are secure if you call them the following way:
https://secure_server.net/your_domain/file.name

  1. The https://secure_server.net is the name of the server that your web site is hosted on (Mail Us if you don't know the name of the server).
  2. The /your_domain/ is the name of your domain without the .com, .net, etc.
  3. The file.name is the name of the file you are calling.

Setting CGI Scripts Using SSL

There is one way to execute CGI scripts under a secure connection.  Your local cgi-bin, which requires the Support Dept. to enable that feature under your virtual domain.

Using your local cgi-bin your path would look like this:
https://secure_server.net/your_domain/cgi-bin/file.name

The secure_sever.net represents the server your virtual domain is hosted on.

Remember if you need your secure server name or need your cgi-bin securely enabled please contact support.

If you would like to use formmail securely, you first need to upload the formmail.pl file into your local cgi-bin directory.  Then instead of calling the universal cgi-sys directory you would call your own cgi-bin directory.   It would look something like this:
https://secure_sever.net/your_domain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl
