How do I use both ssl and non-ssl servlets/jsp's

[jimcardwell]

We have Apache 3.27 / Tomcat 4.0.4 and they are connected via the warp connector. There is a single web application in a subdirectory of the 'webapps' folder. I want to use SSL to encrypt traffic to a few pages, such as the login post servlet, but not to all servlets. I have installed mod_ssl and this seems to work (I get a padlock and can view the certificate correctly). However, whenever any jsp or servlet requests a page/servlet using https, all subsequent requests also use the https protocol. This seems to be a result of the encodeURL(servletname) calls throughout the application. Is there a way without re-coding all the encodeURL(servletname) to encodeURL(

http://...)

to set up apache and/or tomcat and/or the webapp so that just the specified traffic is encrypted?

Jim, solved it yet?

Take a look at this info I came across:

Truncate the url for lots more helpful info.

I hope it helps,

Good Luck,
