forcing SSL for some cgi's

[scorinaldi]

Hi,

I want certain cgi-bin files to only be runnable on SSL.

i know that i can edit httpd.conf to make this happen, but I can't find my httpd.conf file anywhere.

how do i change it, or is there another way to force SSL?

thanks,

sharif

I've never tried to force a script to use SSL, so I don't know if it will work or not, but you could try putting the directives in .htaccess. httpd.conf is a server-wide configuration file. There is only one httpd.conf file for all of the sites served on a server so, obviously, you aren't allowed change it.

.htaccess lets you set up server configs at the account or directory level, although some of the functionality that you get in httpd.conf isn't available to .htaccess files. If you can't make it work using .htaccess, then open a support ticket and ask them to change the httpd.conf file.
