perl cgi and SSL

[john30120]

I am converting an NT hosted website to use a SSL connection.
The present site generates its web pages by running perl scripts in the cgi-bin directory and reads and writes files from the files directory. My inclination is to move the cgi-bin and files directories as subdirectories under the /secure directory, then from my non-secured index.htm redirect to the secured pages by "/secure/cgi-bin/generateHTML.pl" or must I

https://mydomain/secure/cgi-bin/generateHTML.pl"

.

Are there any inherient problems when one perl script calls another sitting in the secure area or needs to access files in the secure area? Is this the proper structure or should the files directory be kept out of the /secured area?

Thanks

Is the SSL being issued to secure.example.com,

http://www.example.com,

or example.com?

The ssl links to the /secure subdirectory of the server.
It is accessed by

https://myDomain.com/secure/index.htm

I will put the cgi-bin directory under this so
<root>/secure/cgi-bin/makeHTML.pl

Thanks

yes - just make sure everything then is under the secure folder. And make sure that all images, JS, CSS files etc are all called from this folder and you should be fine
