Need help with shared ssl

[vcache]

My domain host offers a shared ssl with my hosting package and I would like to use it (I currently can't afford to purchase a dedicated ssl certificate).

 

I have it set up (at least I'm pretty sure I do cause it says I do) as far as my web host is concerned. I just can't figure out how to tell OSC how to use it...I put in https://mydomain and it comes up with page cannot be displayed (yes the pages are there and I can access them if I use just http://

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Alan...

 

as it turns out I would have to put the cert server's URL ahead of mine..which just looks bad...so I'm skipping the SSL thing for now untill I can afford to purchase one

 

thanks for the mountain of info, though :)

I just figured that after a couple of hours working one guy through it I'd just post the thead.

 

It's such a common question, that and ssl in general that I think I'll set up a simple web page to explain the basics like this. I searched for one with google to see if someone had already done one but came up empty.
