[ic] SSL

yes, I am sharing an ssl.  I think I'm straight on securing the actually
cgi, but my isp told me I had to also copy any html's I wanted to be secure
over to a "secure" directory below my www directory and call those html's
from there.  He's explaining it in the general world, not necessarily with
ic.  Being ic actually calls the htmls, how does ic know where to find this
secure directory and hence the html's in it?  Or do I even need to do this?
I noticed in the non-secure world some of the pages come from subdirectories
so in the secure world would I have to create those as well under the secure
directory and move the html's to it for ic to find them?
