Hi, I have my website secured using the verisign ssl protection. I realised that the website takes too much time to load due to the fact the https shows on all the pages. I would like to change this and do it in a such a way to allow the https to show only when people are visiting a particular page. I really don't know how to do this. Any advice would help. Thanks
A:
If you want most of your site to be non-ssl, but want ssl on www.mydomain.com/login, then just make sure any links to the login page specify https:
href="https://www.mydomain.com/login"
To prevent users typing in the url without the https, and force ssl on a specific page, you could use an .htaccess redirect:
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /login https://www.mydomain.com/login

Thanks for replying, the issue is that the https shows even when on the index page which does not contain anything sensible. I would like to prevent it from showing when browsing the rest of the pages a part from a particular one. any idea?

I've never seen that issue myself, but would suspect it has something to do with your server config. Have you got access to your httpd.conf file?
