Hello,

(What I hope will be a) quick question regarding SSL and HTTPS- from my understanding, if you want someone to use SSL for a connection, you simply make sure that the URL has "https" instead of "http" in front of your URL, correct?

I have a valid SSL cert that I use to create customer accounts and secure payments. However, I have discovered, to maintain and ensure my customer's security, I should use SSL at any and all pages where a customer might submit any secure information (including login pages). So, I figured I could just put "https" at the beginning of my URL links, and SSL would just know when to take over, right? WRONG! After adding the aforementioned "HTTPS" before my links, I get an error "could not connect to server"....

If it helps at all, this is a server running Windows Server 2003. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong, here?

Thanks!

-Jay
